Scaloni Doubts Messi's World Cup Presence

Scaloni's comments come as the defending champions prepare to face strong teams including Spain, France, and England in the tournament this summer in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The World Cup is expected to be Messi's last, provided his physical condition allows him to join the Argentine squad.

Argentina recently defeated Mauritania 2-1 in a friendly match as part of their preparations for the tournament. The 2022 world champions will be looking to defend their title against top international competition.
