However, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, the Argentine star chose to use the period to rest. Thus, with the MLS regular season ending at the end of October, Messi’s schedule only reserves the World Cup qualifiers with Argentina.
With this, there will be two great South American classics, games against Uruguay and Brazil are scheduled for the 17th and 22nd of November.

After that, the 36-year-old striker’s plan is to enjoy a month and a half off, like the other players, and return for pre-season in Miami, with the next MLS season scheduled to start in February.
Messi has only played 72 minutes for Inter Miami in MLS since the beginning of September due to injury.
It is worth remembering that this week, the number 10 presented himself to the Argentina team, to begin preparation for the next two rounds of the qualifiers. The current world champion faces Paraguay, this Thursday (12), and visits Peru, next Tuesday (17).
