Argentina general manager Jorge Burruchaga believes Barcelona icon Lionel Messi will return to the national team, despite not being named in any squads since the disappointment of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

"No date is scheduled right now for the return of Messi, and he will not be back before the end of the year.
