Ammon News - Media sports reports stated that Argentine national team star Lionel Messi intends to take part in his team’s match against the Jordanian national team (Al-Nashama) next Sunday.

TNT Sports journalist Maximiliano Grillo reports that Messi fully intends to play against Jordan this coming Saturday. The Argentine captain has always made it clear that he hates sitting out, and a few key factors are pushing him toward the starting lineup.

Set to face Jordan for Matchday 3, head coach Lionel Scaloni will be planning changes to the Albiceleste lineup for their final match of the group stage.

According to TyC Sports journalist and team insider Gaston Edul, the remaining members of the 26-man roster who did not feature in the opening two games are expected to get playing time in the final game of the group stage against Jordan.

With qualification in the bag, Scaloni’s primary goal is to avoid unnecessary risks against Jordan, who sits at No. 72 in the FIFA rankings after their loss to Algeria. Lionel Messi could still make an appearance in what will be his first match since turning 39.

Jordan national team head coach Jamal Sellami described the match between Jordan and Argentina as a "prestige match," in which the team aims to deliver a performance worthy of its historic first participation in the World Cup.
