Yesterday, MLS began and not entirely well for Leo Messi and company. Inter Miami was thrashed by LAFC and thus had a tough start to the season. Despite the defeat, Messi received good news thinking about what is coming in 2026, because although there is less to go before the World Cup, before that he will have to play the Finalissima against Spain in March and for this, the Argentine national team would be able to count on an important player.
Messi's schedule will be quite busy from now on, as between Inter Miami and the Argentina national team, there will not be much time to rest. Leo knows that these are great challenges and wants to keep winning everything.
The good news that Lionel Messi received with Argentina
Before thinking about the World Cup, Argentina must focus on the Finalissima to be played in March against the European champions, Spain. Luis de la Fuente's team is a strong candidate to win the World Cup and therefore it will be a duel that could give signals for what will happen in June.
For the Finalissima, Messi and company received good news, as Lautaro Martinez could be fit to play that match despite the injury he suffered playing for Inter Milan.
Lautaro Martinez underwent clinical and instrumental tests this morning at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas in Rozzano. The examinations revealed a strain in the soleus muscle of his left calf. The Argentine striker's condition will be reassessed next week

- Lautaro Martinez: Soleus strain.
Lionel Scaloni is working against the clock to get in the best shape for the Finalissima, which is on March 27. However, the priority is the World Cup, so they will not rush any recovery and will go with what they have available.
