Messi's door always open for 2026 World Cup: Ayala

 Lionel Messi's door is always open if he wants to play in the 2026 World Cup and only Lionel Messi can take this decision. Argentina's assistant coach Roberto Ayala commented. He said, how much Leo is enjoying each match is also being closely monitored. Ayala said that Argentina's plan is for Copa America for now

 Lionel Messi will play the 2026 World Cup! It is impossible to measure how happy the Messi fans of the world will be with such an assurance. But who will guarantee this? Leo himself does not know his future. Even if everything is in favor, age is rebelling. Difficult decisions can come at any moment.

 Messi left Europe for America to stay away from competitive club football. Did he get relief even when he went there? He had to stay out of the field for a long time due to two major injuries. Could not enter the field for Argentina in the last matches.

 There is no denying that age will catch up with the 37-year-old Lionel Messi. Still everyone dreams around him. The 2026 World Cup is still a long way off. But Messi is very well in the plan of team management. Although at the end of the day Leo has to make the whole decision alone.

Argentina's assistant coach Roberto Ayala said, 'We want to progress every match. Our plans now include the Copa America. We will understand a little about Messi's physical condition through this tournament. But it all depends on Messi whether he will play or not. Time will tell what he will do in future. When Messi joins the national team camp, he enjoys it. And as long as he does, Khera will continue.'

 After the World Cup, Argentina played several FIFA friendlies apart from qualifying for the Latin region. Albiceleste had relatively easy opponents in those matches. Now the management is thinking about that matter. At the same time, thinking about the future, AFA also wants to focus on scouting young footballers.

 Roberto Ayala said, 'We have two preparation matches before the Copa America. We will try to organize the team during this time. Because we have a pressure to retain the championship. Messi will not play in Argentina jersey for the rest of his life. We have to find an alternative. But it's also true, footballers like Lionel Messi don't come around all the time.'

 Argentina will face Ecuador in a FIFA friendly on June 9. The match was scheduled to be played at Soldier Field in Chicago, but the AFA is trying to move it to Buenos Aires.
