Argentine forward Lionel Messi believes that head coach Jorge Sampaoli should return Gonzalo Higuain to the national team.

Gonzalo Higuain played for Argentina 69 matches in which he scored 31 goals, but ceased to receive a challenge to the national team after the appointment of Jorge Sampaoli.

"I consider Higuain one of the best central strikers in the world. He proves this with his game for Juventus, "Messi said..

"In the team he is not so successful, but he should be called into it.

Perhaps this period without a call to the team went to his advantage, because he was able to concentrate on training and improved his physical condition. However, he must return to the national team of Argentina ".

In the current season Higuain spent 21 matches for Juventus in all tournaments, in which he scored 11 goals and gave three assists.
