Participant Preview (Season Summary)
Argentina have unveiled a 26-man World Cup squad on May 28, confirming Lionel Messi but warning he will not be fully fit for the tournament. Messi's fitness doubts have shifted the burden of creating chances onto his teammates, leaving the coach to reshuffle the attack and seek a new focal point. The side now aims to sharpen its cohesion and find alternative goal-scoring sources in the upcoming warm-up friendlies before the World Cup kicks off.
