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.

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.
