Lionel Messi is taking an indefinite break from international football, with Argentina’s decision to rest their No. 10 shirt in the Barcelona star’s absence leaving Sergio Romero bemused.
The Albiceleste are currently readying themselves for friendly meetings with Guatemala and Colombia.
They will be taking in those fixtures without that talismanic skipper, with Messi having been handed a well-earned rest on the back of another frustrating World Cup campaign with his country.
The 31-year-old forward is yet to reveal whether he will be returning to the fold, but an iconic jersey is being held back for him.
