Argentina's Messi again stood down for Mexico friendlies
BUENOS AIRES â€" Lionel Messi was again left out of the Argentina squad announced on Thursday for two friendlies against Mexico later this month, while players from Copa Libertadores finalists Boca Juniors and River Plate were also omitted.
Messi's omission is no surprise as he hasn't played in any of four previous friendlies since the end of the World Cup in Russia and is believed to have asked to be excused from non-competitive matches for the rest of the year.
