The president of the Argentina Football Association, Claudio Tapia, is confident Lionel Messi will return to international action.
The Barcelona captain missed September’s friendlies against Guatemala and Colombia and is not expected to play again this year.
Tapia says he needs time away from the national team but does expect him to play for his country again.
“I have no doubts that he will return to play [with the national team],” he said.
“We have to let him be and give him the time he needs. We have to continue the way we are.
