Messi likely to make Argentina return to BD on Nov 18

Argentina are likely to play Paraguay in Dhaka in November and if that happens, captain Lionel Messi will return to international football through the match in Bangladesh after suspension, reports bdnews24.com.

Coach Lionel Scaloni insisted Messi will return in November in a pre-match press conference recently, LiveScore reported.

The Argentina skipper will miss friendlies against Chile, Mexico and Germany. Sergio Aguero is also out because he has been "carrying a problem and has not been training 100 per cent with his club", the coach explained, according to LiveScore.

"Surely both will be here next month," it quoted Scaloni as saying.

Messi was suspended for three months from international play by CONMEBOL in early August after he accused the organisation of corruption during Copa America.

Paraguay and Venezuela football governing bodies said last week Argentina will play a FIFA friendly match against Paraguay at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka on November 18, three days after a match between Paraguay and Venezuela at the same venue.
