While Emiliano Martinez left to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games following the Copa América, Lionel Messi’s participation in the Olympic tournament is still uncertain.

The response is terrible, because it comes from Gaston Edul, the star presenter of TyC Sports, the channel which broadcast the Albiceleste matches during the coronation at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Asked about ” No “. End of suspense?

Lionel Scaloni officially included him in his list for the preparation matches against Ecuador and Guatemala on June 9 and 14, before the Copa and clashes against Canada, Chile and Peru in the group stage. Lionel Messi is expected by a whole population for the next Olympiad in France, but Inter Miami visibly refuses to release him for this second major competition that Argentina will compete in.

No Lionel Messi, but 5 world champions?

Without “La Pulga”, Olympic Argentina will still have a hell of a team. Several 2022 world champions would be on the cards of Javier Mascherano, the coach, who can call on three players over 23 years old. Emiliano Martinez, Nicolas Otamendi, Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Almada and Julian Alvarez would have their “exit voucher” for the Olympics, according to ESPN journalist Martin Arevalo. Enzo Fernandez and Thiago Almada were born in 2001 and are within the age limit for the tournament.

Paulo Dybala was not called up for the Copa América, but his participation in the Olympic Games has therefore not been announced. AS Roma will decide whether or not to release him… In group B, the Argentines inherited three first matches against Morocco, Iraq and Ukraine, on July 24, 27 and 30. In the quarter-finals, the two qualifiers from this group will face the survivors of group A, that of Thierry Henry’s French team…
