Messi could join Argentina for two matches in September if hamstring holds up
Lionel Messi and his new Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul have been called up by the Argentine national team for their final two World Cup qualifying matches in early September. Argentina, the defending World Cup champions, has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Messi, 38, has not yet declared he will play in the World Cup. But his upcoming reunion with the national team could be noteworthy. Watch MLS games all season long on Apple TV Argentina will host Venezuela on Sept. 4 at Mâs Monumental in Buenos Aires, which could be Messi's last match in his beloved home country for the foreseeable future. Argentina will visit Ecuador on Sept. 9. It's unclear whether Argentina will host any matches next year in the leadup to the World Cup, held June 11, 2026 to July 19, 2026. Messi will turn 39 years old on June 24, 2026. Messi has been eager to return from a recent right hamstring injury. He scored a goal with an assist in Inter Miami's last match against L.A. Galaxy, a 3-1 win on Aug. 16, but was seen stretching his hamstring at multiple points in his appearance off the bench in the second half. 'He clearly wasn't 100% comfortable,' Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said of Messi after the match. 'Now, the reality is that as the minutes went by, he loosened up a little bit more. We'll have to see how he ended up in terms of fatigue.' Messi and De Paul, who joined Inter Miami last month, were listed on a preliminary roster by Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni on Monday, Aug. 18. The Inter Miami teammates have at least three matches to play before they rejoin the national team. Inter Miami will host Tigres on Aug. 20 in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals. Inter Miami also has two regular season matches: at D.C. United on Aug. 23, and home against the Chicago Fire on Aug. 30. If Inter Miami advances in the Leagues Cup, the semifinals would be played on Aug. 26 or 27, while the final and third-place matches are set for Aug. 31. Messi was scoreless with Argentina in two matches earlier this year: He came off the bench in a 1-0 road win against Chile on June 5, and played 78 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Colombia on June 10. The last time Messi scored with Argentina, he had a hat trick and two assists in a 6-0 victory over Bolivia on Oct. 15, 2024.

Napoli hold talks to sign Rasmus Hojlund as Amorim makes his plan clear
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has a 'clear plan' for his forward line amid interest from Serie A champions Napoli in Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, Fabrizio Romano reveals. Panic in Naples Napoli, spearheaded to their Scudetto triumph last season by former United star Scott McTominay, are seeking to defend their title this season under Antonio Conte. But the Italian side have suffered a last-minute blow to their pre-season with star striker Romelu Lukaku ruled out for around three months after sustaining a 'high-grade injury in his thigh' in a friendly against Olympiacos. This has led Napoli to immediately explore the forward market with their season opener against Sassuolo just six days away. The Neapolitans have previously been linked with moves for Hojlund and Zirkzee with reports resurfacing today of renewed interest in both United players. But Romano reveals Napoli will only be able to sign one of the duo as Amorim has a 'clear plan' on who he wants to keep at Old Trafford this season. Tweet: The Italian transfer expert contends United 'want to keep Joshua Zirkzee [with] no talks [with Napoli] despite links today' while Hojlund is free to leave following the signing of Bejamin Sesko last week. A return to Italy for Hojlund? Romano reveals Napoli established 'direct contact' with their Old Trafford counterparts today to ask for the 'conditions' of a loan deal for Hojlund. United would prefer a permanent sale of the Denmark international but there is internal recognition that they would not receive a transfer fee which would surpass his remaining book value, believed to be around £45 million. This means if Hojlund was to be sold for a fee lower than this, his sale would actually incur a negative hit from a PSR perspective. A loan with a fee and wage coverage would, therefore, represent a better deal for United with the hope that Hojlund would regain form and increase his transfer value by next summer. AC Milan had been leading the race to sign the 22-year-old striker on loan, but now they face competition from a domestic rival. From Hojlund's perspective, he would prefer to remain at Old Trafford and fight for his place. However, Amorim has made it clear he has fallen down the pecking order with the Dane not even making the bench against Arsenal yesterday while Zirkzee did, despite not having played a minute in pre-season. The Portuguese coach's plan for Hojlund appears clear: play in Italy or sit in the stands in Manchester. Featured image Matt McNulty via Getty Images online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @
