The International break has arrived with reigning World Cup champions Argentina scheduled to square off against Paraguay in the CONMEBOL World Cup 2026 Qualifier on Thursday night at the Estadio Mâs Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, Argentina star Lionel Messi, who missed La Albiceleste's previous fixture against Bolivia, is likely to feature in the clash against Paraguay.
Apart from Messi, the Argentine national team will be without the service of big names like Angel Di Maria, Paulo Dybala, and Lisnadro Martinez who are ruled out due to injuries, for their Thursday clash. On the other hand, Paraguay will face Argentina with a new coach, Daniel Garnero of Argentina, who replaced compatriot Guillermo Barros Schelotto after Paraguay’s poor start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.
