Lionel Messi's Argentina vs Paraguay; where and how to watch the match LIVE

Lionel Messi's season seems to have come to an end, at least with Inter Miami. Although the arrival of the Argentine player has been a success, both from a marketing point of view and from a sporting point of view, Messi's recent injury has made it impossible for Inter Miami to qualify for the playoffs. Lionel Messi missed up to four games with Inter, and Gerardo Tata Martino's team failed to win a single one.

Although Lionel Messi will not have an official match with Inter Miami for at least four months, now the Argentine is back with his national team, Argentina. The South American country will participate this week in the FIFA CONMEBOL Qualifiers to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Argentina is in second place with six points, tied with Brazil but ahead of them on goal difference.

This Thursday, October 12, Lionel Messi and Argentina will play against Paraguay at the Monumental Stadium, that is, at home. If they win, Argentina would be placed with nine points, waiting for what happens in Brazil vs Venezuela, played on the same day.

Once Argentina - Paraguay is over, we will have to wait until Monday to see Argentina vs Peru, this time, in Peru. The match can be seen through several options: FUBO, UNIVERSO, Telemundo and UNIVERSO NOW.

Will Lionel Messi play?

One of the news that alarmed the Argentine fan is his recent injury, which prevented him from playing all the games with Inter Miami. However, in the last game against Cincinnati in Major League Soccer, Lionel Messi came on in the 50th minute and managed to finish the entire game, without showing any signs of being injured.

If nothing strange happens, Lionel Messi will start against Paraguay, or at least have minutes. Gastón Edul, a journalist close to the Argentine national team, has confirmed that Lionel Messi has trained in an absolutely normal way, with the rest of the team.
