Messi temporarily steps down from the Argentina national team
Posted Wednesday, August 15, 2018 by Marca.com
Argentina's disastrous World Cup has forced Lionel Messi into a rethink and he has reportedly decided he'll not play for the Albiceleste again in 2018.
With Lionel Scaloni in caretaker charge, it remains to be seen who'll be the next permanent Argentina coach and now it also remains to be seen when or if Messi will be back.
According to TNT Sports, the No.10 will not go the United States for the country's friendlies against Guatemala and Colombia on September 7 and September 11 respectively.
He'll also skip the match against Brazil in Saudi Arabia in October.
His return in time for the 2019 Copa America in Brazil is now the big question mark.
