Argentina's talisman Lionel Messi is set to link up with the national team camp after this weekend as they prepare for their Copa America campaign this summer. The 36-year-old superstar, who has been in scintillating form for Inter Miami in the MLS, will be aiming to lead Argentina to glory once again. Messi, who has notched up an impressive 13 goals and 11 assists in just 14 appearances for Miami this season, will join head coach Lionel Scaloni's provisional squad as they gear up for the tournament. Argentina will kick off their campaign against Canada on June 21, looking to defend the title they claimed in 2021. While Messi heads off to represent his country, Miami will be left without their star player for the next month, which could prove crucial in their quest for the Supporters' Shield in the MLS. Miami currently sits at the top of the MLS standings with 34 points after 17 matches, with their form likely to be tested during Messi's absence. Before the Copa America kicks off, Argentina will play friendlies against Ecuador and Guatemala, giving Scaloni the opportunity to finalize his squad before the tournament begins. The Copa America will take place across the United States from June 20 to July 14, with Argentina facing tough fixtures against Chile and Peru after their opener against Canada. As Messi prepares to don the Argentina jersey once again, fans will be eagerly anticipating his performances as he aims to inspire his nation to further success on the international stage. His presence will undoubtedly add a touch of magic to Argentina's campaign as they look to make their mark in the Copa America.
