Lionel Messi, the 37-year-old forward of the Argentina national team, does not rule out the possibility of missing the 2026 World Cup if he cannot ensure himself optimal physical condition. As reported by The Touchline, he emphasizes that he is only ready to compete when fully fit.

Otherwise, the player prefers not to risk his health. In private conversations, he has also expressed doubts about the intensity of the game in MLS, where he plays for Inter Miami. In his opinion, the level of this league is lower than in the leading European leagues, which requires him to make additional efforts to maintain his form.

Messi is currently recovering from a hamstring injury and is gradually returning to training with the team ahead of the new season.
