L. Messi returns to the Argentine national team.

Argentina's national team coach Lionel Scaloni announced which footballers will help the national team in the upcoming cycle of national teams.

Argentina will play friendly matches against Venezuela and Morocco ahead of the upcoming South American championship.

Lionel Messi will return to the team after the World Cup. The "Barcelona" star decided to take a good half-year break from international football after an unsuccessful tournament in Russia.

Three of the most well-known Argentine forwards - Mauro Icardi, Sergio Aguero, and Gonzalo Higuain - were not called up for this cycle.

Argentina will play their first match against Venezuela on March 23.
