Lionel Messi will miss the World Cup qualifying matches against Brazil and Uruguay due to a muscle injury.

The Argentine released a statement regarding his inability to help "La Albiceleste":

"I am sad about missing important matches against Brazil and Uruguay.

I really wanted to represent my country, but a minor muscle injury means I need to take a bit of a rest, so I won't be able to play.

I will support the Argentine team, just like any other fan. Go Argentina!”

The Argentina national team is in first place in the World Cup qualifying with 25 points.
