Lionel Messi has been named to the latest Argentina squad despite his recent injury struggles.
The Inter Miami star has missed the last four contests with a muscle problem.
He last appeared for the club on September 20.
Argentina are set to host Paraguay next Thursday in a World Cup qualifier before travelling to Peru on October 17.

Inter Miami’s talisman Lionel Messi but he’s been selected for the latest Argentina squad
Messi’s club was thrashed without him on Wednesday night as they lost 4-1 to the Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.
The loss leaves the Herons five points adrift of a postseason place with just three more games to play.
Unsurprisingly, Miami has struggled without its talisman in the lineup.
The club has drawn twice and lost twice – including in the US Open Cup Final – since the Argentine departed the 4-0 win vs. Toronto on September 20.
