Miami writes that there is no date for when the legend can return to the football pitch.

Argentina meets the powerhouse nations Uruguay on Friday and Brazil on Tuesday in the World Championship qualifiers. Victory in the two upcoming matches and the reigning world champions are clear for the World Championship.

But the top meeting between Argentina and Brazil will now be one star poorer. Since it is already clear that Messi's former teammate in Barcelona, Neymar, will miss Brazil's qualifiers. Also due to injury.

After twelve rounds, Messi leads the scoring league in South America's World Championship qualifiers with six goals.
