Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina ruled out of Messi’s Argentina-Benin send-off
AS Roma have decided Dybala and Molina will not play in Argentina’s friendly vs Benin on October 6 at the Monumental.
AS Roma has announced that Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina won’t feature in the friendly between Argentina and Benin on October 6 in Buenos Aires, the match in which Lionel Messi will definitively say goodbye to the Albiceleste.
The club says the call is driven by sporting and logistical reasons: the intercontinental trip’s length and the closeness to official commitments.
In its statement, Roma highlights the link between both players and Messi, and with the protagonists of the 2022 World Cup. The club also says it wants to show “deep respect” for Messi and to wish him and the Argentine federation “a special evening,” as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
