Argentina: Gasperini wants to block Messi’s invitation to Dybala

Lionel Messi issued a prestigious invitation to Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina. The two AS Roma players, not called up by Argentina for the next meeting, were invited by the Inter Miami star to attend his probable last meeting with the Albiceleste, scheduled for October 6 at the Monumental stadium against Benin, after the meetings scheduled against Bolivia and Burkina Faso. A proposal which obviously does not leave the two Argentinian internationals indifferent.

Dybala and Molina would like to respond favorably to Messi’s call, but their participation remains complicated by Roma’s schedule. Gian Piero Gasperini would indeed prefer to avoid his two players having to have a transatlantic round trip before an important meeting in Serie A. The Giallorossi must travel to Como on October 11, the day after the international break, and the Italian technician therefore fears fatigue linked to this long trip to Argentina.
