Dybala and Molina to miss Messi's final match for Argentina
Summary

Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina will not join the Argentina national team for Lionel Messi’s final match against Benin on October 6. Instead, both players will remain at Trigoria, preparing for AS Roma's upcoming game against Como. This decision, reached in mutual agreement with the team's coach, allows Dybala to maintain his form and helps Molina regain his matchday rhythm. Other Roma players will participate in the event, but the club opted not to let Dybala and Molina travel due to the extensive flight time and recovery requirements.
