the argentina national team arrived in indonesia and lionel messi did not come

Argentina national team officially arrived in Indonesia. Even though Lionel Messi was not present, Lionel Scaloni's troops arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, on Friday night (16 June 2023)
Even the arrival of the Argentine national team was greeted with a red carpet. PSSI chairman Erick Thohir was seen at the reception.
Erick then put a cloth on the President of AFA, Claudio Tapia as a sign of welcome from Indonesia. After Tapia left, it was seen that the coach of the Argentina national team, Lionel Scaloni, also received a welcome sign.
Several players and coaching staff then followed Tapia and Scaloni's steps across the red carpet. They were also seen smiling as happily as they received a warm welcome from Indonesia.
The arrival of the Argentina national team is due to face the Indonesian national team on FIFA Day in June 2023. The two teams will fight at the Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Monday 19 June 2023.
Messi certainly will not play when the Indonesia vs Argentina match will be held at the Bung Karno Main Stadium
The news of Messi's absence from competing in Indonesia has been rolling since ESPN Argentina journalist Leo Paradizo said on his Twitter account that Messi would not be playing in Indonesia.
Argentine sport Vermouth Deportivo revealed that the reason Messi was not coming was because he was going on holiday before joining his new club, Inter Miami.
This was later strengthened by the Argentina National Team Coach, Lionel Scaloni. He emphasized that he would rest Messi, Nicolas Otamendi and Angel Di Maria against Indonesia.
This is what has disappointed many fans in Indonesia, as highlighted by Channel News Asia.
Singapore based news agency
said more than 60,000 tickets had been sold for the game.
"However, after days of speculation, fans in a football-loving country received the sad news on Thursday that their hero will not be playing," wrote Channel News Asia on Friday (16/6/2023).
