Lionel Messi, Lionel Scaloni and Argentina.
Before Argentina’s final Group J match against Jordan.
Lionel Messi will start on the bench for Argentina’s final group match against eliminated Jordan, with Lionel Scaloni confirming he will still get minutes. Argentina have already won Group J after two wins and Messi’s five goals at this tournament.
Scaloni said rotation rewards players who have trained hard but not featured, while keeping Messi active before the round of 32. Argentina face the Group H runners-up next, with Cape Verde viewed as a likely opponent.
