Lionel Messi has asked coach Christophe Galtier not to include him in the squad for the game against Auxerre, which is scheduled for November 13 and will be the last for the Parisians before the break for the 2022 World Cup.
It is reported that in this way the 35-year-old star wants to relax and recharge before traveling to Qatar. At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina will play in Group C, which also includes Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Messi's team opens the tournament on November 22 with a duel against Saudi Arabia.
