The Argentine media said that the argentinian union received a message from FIFA that Messi could not participate in the match against Bolivia after the incident of insulting the rule of flag in the previous meeting against Chile, where Viva decided to stop Messi 4 games, and fined him 10 thousand Swiss francs.
The absence of Messi will be a painful blow to the team, especially with the importance of the upcoming matches in the World Cup qualifiers.
Messi had insulted the referee after failing to count a foul against him in the final minutes of the Chile match, sparking his anger and began to blame him after the end of the game
