Argentina will be without their captain Lionel Messi when they take on Uruguay at the Estadio Centenario.
The defending Copa América 2024 champions are back in action during the March international break as they continue the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Argentina remain atop the CONMBEOL standings with 25 points from their first 12 qualifying matches.
A huge test is coming for Lionel Scaloni's men, though. Argentina are set to face Uruguay in Montevideo after a four-month layoff. La Celeste come into the fixture with just one defeat in eight matches while Argentina stumbled against Colombia and Paraguay to close out 2024.
To add to the challenge, La Albiceleste will be without Lautaro Martínez, Paulo Dybala, Giovani Lo Celso and most importantly, Messi.
