Defending champions Argentina, who are set to play Chile and Colombia in June, have already secured their place at the 2026 World Cup in Messi's absence following a 1-0 win over Uruguay in March, before thrashing rivals Brazil 4-1. 'It's a shame to miss these two very special matches with the national team against Uruguay and Brazil,' Messi wrote in an Instagram story after he was forced to withdraw with a groin strain. 'As always, I wanted to be there, but at the last moment, a not-so-serious injury that forces me to rest for a while before returning to play kept me out.' Messi returned to action for Inter Miami later in the month and has scored six goals in all competitions for the club since then. The 37-year-old is also set to play in the Club World Cup, where Miami kick off their campaign on June 14, four days after Argentina play Colombia.

Defender Valentin Barco and attacker Valentin Castellanos, who have not played for Argentina since last year, have also been named in the list.

Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest: Premier League
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Palace are unchanged from the XI that beat Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final. Hardly a shock call from Glasner, Palace were absolutely brilliant at Wembley. Forest make two changes from the team that lost at home to Brentford, with Nicolas Dominguez and Ibrahim Sangare replacing the injured Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ryan Yates. Share Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Eze, Mateta. Subs: Devenny, Chilwell, Esse, Hughes, Clyne, Franca, Nketiah, Lerma, Matthews. Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Sangare, Dominguez, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Anderson, Wood. Subs: Carlos Miguel, Morato, Awoniyi, Toffolo, Jota Silva, Yates, Sosa, Danilo, Boly. Share Who would you rather be? Crystal Palace, marooned in mid-table but with an FA Cup final to come (victory in which would secure Europa League qualification) or Nottingham Forest, out of the FA Cup but still with a very good chance of qualifying for the Champions League? I say very good and not excellent because Forest have been on something of a stinker of late, just one win and three losses in their last four league games, which isn't really Champions League form, chaps. That said, they are very much still in it . Four points behind third-placed Manchester City, just three points behind both fourth-placed Newcastle and fifth-placed Chelsea. This game, away at Palace, is their game in hand. It is absolutely vital that they win tonight, not only to put points back on the board, but also change the momentum which has recently seen them hurtle out of the top five. Palace and Forest have both had excellent seasons by their previously middling expectations and this is a fine time to be a fan of either club. Let's hope for a good game. Kick-off: 8pm BST. Share
