Argentina’s meeting with Austria in the Arlington area appears to be scheduled for Monday, based on pre-match reporting tied to the fixture. Specific kickoff time, venue details, and broadcast information have not been widely confirmed in early coverage.
How close he may be to that mark, and whether he starts or rests, remains to be seen until official team news is released.
Until lineups and results are in, the confirmed hook is the pairing itself: Argentina, led by Messi, against Austria in Arlington, with his World Cup scoring chase hanging over the contest.
