Argentina has already secured its place in the knockout stage after winning its first two matches. Coach Lionel Scaloni has confirmed that Lionel Messi will not be in the starting lineup for the match against Jordan. Scaloni indicated this earlier, but officially announced it during a press conference. Messi is expected to enter the field during the second half of the game in Dallas. The decision appears to be a strategic move to manage Messi’s workload and potentially rest key players. This allows for rotation within the squad and preparation for more critical upcoming matches. Further details regarding the exact timing of Messi’s entry were not immediately available.
