ARGENTINA coach Gerardo Martino on Thursday named part of his soccer squad for the Rio Olympics but superstar Lionel Messi was not included after being chosen for the Copa America instead.
The full list of 22 will be revealed in the coming days but not before Sunday’s final of the Copa, where Argentina take on champion Chile.
Messi’s exclusion was expected. He won gold at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but Martino had already decided that the Barcelona star would not compete at both the Copa and the Olympics in August.
Argentina was Olympic champion in 2004 and 2008 and will be favorite in Rio.
