Lionel Messi has made the trip with the Argentina national team to Bolivia for their World Cup qualifier, easing concerns that arose during the final moments of their game against Ecuador. Messi had requested a substitution in that match, sparking worries among fans about his fitness.

Despite those concerns, Messi's presence on the flight to Bolivia indicates that he is ready to play. In the previous game, he had not only scored a remarkable free-kick but had also been seen leaving the medical center after his substitution.

Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, addressed these concerns during a recent press conference, stating, "Messi will travel. Today he trained differently, but he is fit to travel. We are traveling this afternoon. When we get there and start to adapt, we’ll see how everything is." This news will undoubtedly come as a relief to Argentina supporters, who can now look forward to seeing Messi in action during the upcoming qualifier against Bolivia.
