Having recovered from a muscle strain that kept him off the pitch for two weeks, Lionel Messi will once again don the Albiceleste shirt this Friday in World Cup qualifier. Argentina's skipper and his teammates face Uruguay in Montevideo before hosting Brazil at the Monumental next Tuesday.

Lionel Messi may have missed the game, but his reaction showed his passion. Argentina's dominant win over Brazil sent a strong message to their rivals.

There will be no Lionel Messi for Argentina and no Neymar for Brazil in two decisive rounds of South American World Cup qualifying.
