Lionel Messi has been pictured training alongside his Argentina team-mates ahead of their upcoming friendlies against Panama and Curacao. 

The Argentina squad reconvened on Tuesday afternoon for their first training session back together after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 35-year-old was already a national hero before the tournament in the Middle East but their success cemented his status. 

Messi guided his country to World Cup glory after beating defending champions France 4-2 on penalties after a pulsating 3-3 draw. 

The Argentina captain wanted to give his team-mates a personal memento to remember their success with and opted for personalised phones.
