The Barcelona star has been cleared to play in two international fixtures scheduled for October

The president of the Argentine Football Association Claudio Tapia has confirmed Lionel Messi won't miss any games for his country as the result of a red card handed out in 2019. 

Messi was controversially sent off in a Copa America third-place playoff against Chile in July last year and subsequently handed a one-game ban. 

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) initially stated Messi would have to sit out a competitive match, with the Argentina captain allowed to play in friendlies against Brazil and Uruguay late last year.
