Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has assembled a covert backup unit to protect Lionel Messi during the 2026 World Cup. The roster consists of seven players who will travel with the delegation and stay on standby for any last‑minute medical or physical issues.
These athletes will train together in the United States before the tournament and can step into the squad under the same conditions as the main roster. Scaloni’s decision stems from the unexpected injuries that plagued Argentina in Qatar 2022.
The initiative aims to keep Messi on the pitch and preserve Argentina’s title ambitions.
