‘Messi considering international break’

Argentine media report that Lionel Messi is considering taking a break from international football.

The Barcelona talisman has been heavily criticised in his own country following Argentina’s Copa America final defeat to Chile on Saturday.

Now, according to daily sports newspaper Ole, the 28-year-old is pondering whether to take himself out of the firing line as the Albiceleste being preparations for their World Cup Qualifying campaign, which starts this autumn.

Though he is yet to make a final decision, Messi is said to have become ‘fed up’ and ‘frustrated’ by the personal criticism aimed at him for a supposed failure to replicate his club form for his country.
