Lionel Messi has his sights set on the World Cup in Qatar, where the Argentine team will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the group stage. In this context, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) was motivated by a young element that appeared in the last friendlies, but was ruled out for the appointment. 

This is Thiago Almada. The outstanding midfielder who plays in the MLS will not go to Qatar, although there was a certain sector of the fans that pressed for his call to be made, especially after the friendlies against Honduras and Jamaica, in the United States.

However, Gastón Edul confirmed that Almada was left out of the list of 28 players that Lionel Scaloni gave before traveling to Qatar. From said list, two elements will come out (one of them could be Giovani Lo Celso, who has an injury that would leave him out).

However, even if the latest reports says and indicates otherwise, the Atlanta United player could be the surprise if there is any medical mishap before the debut, which would be some great news for Lionel Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain striker.

Messi was amazed with Almada: 

Although he was not part of the process, Thiago Almada was summoned by Scaloni for the last Albiceleste friendlies. He had minutes against Honduras and Jamaica and Lionel Messi was delighted with his performance. 'He is not afraid of anything and faces it,' said the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) on the wheel.
