Lionel Messi trained in Buenos Aires with his national team, Argentina, just two days after they were ousted from the MLS Cup playoffs.
Emiliano Martínez, the goalkeeper, was also present on Monday after serving a suspension and rejoining La Albiceleste.
Martínez is available for the encounter against Paraguay on November 14 and the home match against Peru five days later, despite having been suspended by FIFA for the last two qualifiers for “offensive behavior” in two prior matches in September.

With 22 points from 10 games, coach Lionel Scaloni’s team is leading the South American World Cup qualifiers. The top six teams will advance directly to the competition in 2026.
