The Albiceleste captain announced he has reversed his decision to step down from international football following a conversation with the new coach Edgardo Bauza.
Lionel Messi has confirmed in a statement to return to the Argentina national team.
The Barcelona star made the decision to retire from international football after another heartbreak loss in the final of the 2016 Copa America.
Having spoken with new Albiceleste boss Edgardo Bauza, Messi has now made the decision to represent his country once again.
" I see there are lots of problems in Argentine football and i do not want to create another," he explained through a statement released on Friday.
" We have to fix a lot of things in Argentine football, but I'd rather do that from inside and not criticizing from the outside."
The captain affirmed that it was his love of Argentina that had convinced him to come back for the next World Cup qualifiers after initially stepping down from the team.
" A lot of things went through my head the day of the last final and i seriously thought about quitting, but I love this country and this shirt too much," he said
" I thank all the people who want me to keep playing with Argentina, I hope we can deliver them some joy."
