Roma announce Dybala and Molina will miss Argentina vs Benin match

AS Roma have announced that players Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina will not participate in the upcoming event in Argentina, which includes a match for the Argentine national team against Benin on 6 October.

The club stated that the match represents an important occasion for the players, given their connection to star Lionel Messi and their participation alongside him in Argentina's victory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Roma have confirmed that the decision to prevent players from participating was due to sporting and logistical reasons, related to the length of the intercontinental travel, alongside the proximity of the team's official commitments.

In closing its statement, the Italian club expressed its full respect for Lionel Messi and his exceptional career, wishing him and the Argentine Football Association a special evening.
