The playmaker has taken on greater responsibilities in a youthful Albiceleste line-up since the captain went on post-World Cup sabbatical
Juventus' Argentina star Paulo Dybala has expressed his desire for Lionel Messi to end his international sabbatical and rejoin his Albiceleste team-mates.
Messi's last game for Argentina came on June 30, when the South Americans were knocked out of the World Cup by France at the last 16 in a 4-3 thriller.
Since then the Barcelona man has focused exclusively on his club, declining inclusion in any of the three squads prepared by interim coach Lionel Scaloni since Russia.
