Messi set to play against Venezuela but not Morocco Argentina May not travel for the second friendly

Argentina are playing two friendly matches this international break, as they take on Venezuela at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on Friday night and Morocco at the Grand Stade de Tanger on Tuesday.

However, Lionel Messi might only play in one of these matches.

The No.10 is expected to take part in Madrid on Friday evening, but might then return home instead of travelling to Morocco.

Messi and his international teammates are currently preparing for the first of the two matches at Real Madrid's training ground in Valdebebas.
