FIFA wants clarification over allegations the Argentina captain abused a linesman during his country's 2018 World Cup qualifying win over Chile
Argentinian Football Association (AFA) official Armando Perez expects Lionel Messi to play in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Bolivia following reports he could be suspended by FIFA for abusing a linesman.
The Barcelona superstar scored the only goal from the penalty spot as Edgardo Bauza's men beat Chile 1-0 in Buenos Aires last Thursday but he was seen angrily gesticulating and shouting towards the referee's assistant Marcelo Van Gasse during the closing stages.
Messi then refused to shake the official's hand and was still visibly unhappy at full-time.
