Lionel Messi is back with Argentina for the first time since they won in Qatar.

Lionel Messi suffered a tough episode with the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the most recent game, against Stade Rennes. The fans booed Lionel as the team's official line-up was announced for that match, at the Parc des Princes. Now, the Argentinian went back to Argentina.

The world champions are already in the country and set their sights on what will be the friendlies against Panama and Curaçao, to be played this March 23 and 28, at the Monumental stadium and in Santiago del Estero respectively. Now, Lionel Messi has responded with a simple photo on Instagram. 

Lionel Messi, on Instagram, replicated a photo taken after winning the Copa América that immediately went viral. Leo was accompanied by the most experienced elements of the team led by Lionel Scaloni. Argentina is preparing for the series of friendlies.

The Argentine team will not have two players due to injury:

Argentine team players are back together, to place themselves under the orders of Lionel Scaloni. Two elements were unaffected. The first was Alejandro Garnacho, a Manchester United winger, who suffered an ankle injury that will keep him off the pitch for six weeks. The other is 'Papu' Gomez. The world champion was not authorized by Sevilla to travel to the country, since he is in the process of recovering from his ankle operation.
