The good news for Lionel Messi was given by the President of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) Claudio Tapia.
Messi will play two matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Bolivia in October. But there were doubts about his performance in those two matches. Because Barcelona's Messi saw a red card in the third place match in Copa America last year.
As a result, Messi was banned in a competitive match. But Messi is no longer barred from playing in the qualifiers as the legal deadline for the ban has passed. That is what Tapia said.
"Messi will be able to play in the qualifiers as the one-match ban has passed the legal deadline," he said on the Argentine Football Association's (AFA) Twitter account.
Argentina will play against Ecuador on October 6 in Buenos Aires. Then the match against Bolivia in La Paz on 13 October
