"Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni on Friday named Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul to his 28-player squad for the friendlies this month against Venezuela and Puerto Rico in Miami and Chicago, respectively. The participation of Messi and De Paul in the match against Venezuela on Oct. 10 remains in doubt as Inter Miami plays Atlanta United in a key MLS regular-season match at Chase Stadium one day later."
"Though Inter Miami has already clinched a spot in the 2025 MLS playoffs, the team continues to fight for a top slot on the Eastern Conference table to ensure home-field advantage during the postseason. The club could also be fighting for the Supporters' Shield during the match against Atlanta United on Oct. 11, dependent upon match results. The Herons must win the three remaining league matches, while the Philadelphia Union lose the final two games."
Lionel Scaloni named Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul to Argentina's 28-player squad for friendlies against Venezuela in Miami on Oct. 10 and Puerto Rico in Chicago on Oct. 13. Messi and De Paul's participation in the Oct. 10 match is uncertain because Inter Miami faces Atlanta United at Chase Stadium on Oct. 11. Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano responded vaguely: "It's something we're talking through right now, you'll find out." Venezuela called up Miami's Telasco Segovia. Inter Miami has clinched a 2025 MLS playoff spot but seeks a higher Eastern Conference seed and Supporters' Shield contention while sitting fourth with 56 points.
