Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has expressed doubts about Lionel Messi's participation in the upcoming World Cup, stating it would be difficult for the star to make the squad.

This summer's tournament in the US, Mexico, and Canada is expected to be Messi's final World Cup appearance, though his physical condition remains a concern. The defending champion, Argentina, defeated Mauritania 2-1 in a recent friendly match as part of their preparations.

Scaloni's comments suggest Messi's inclusion in the squad is uncertain as Argentina aims to retain their title against strong competitors like Spain, France, and England.
