The Barcelona forward is expected to make a statement on his intentions ahead of the qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela in early September after speaking to Edgardo Bauza.
Argentina boss Edgardo Bauza said after his meeting with Lionel Messi on Thursday that the two men did not discuss the attacker's return to the national team, but the Barcelona forward is set to reveal his comeback plans ahead of the World Cup qualifiers next month.
Messi quit the national team after Argentina lost to Chile on penalties in the final of the Copa America Centenario in June. That was the fourth final he had lost with the Albiceleste and to make matters worse, he missed his spot kick in the shootout.
