Lionel Messi is looking to reclaim his lead as top scorer at the World Cup 2026 when Argentina takes on Egypt in the tournament’s last 16 on Tuesday. The reigning world champion was truly tested for the first time last time out and battled through an extra-time victory over Cape Verde to keep their chances of a title defense alive.

Egypt also played a full 120-minute trial in its last outing after beating Australia on penalties, meaning both teams will be feeling the fatigue at this stage. Likewise, the Pharaohs are also undefeated thus far at World Cup 2026 but have won just one of their four games inside the 90 minutes.

La Albiceleste have several fitness concerns after Enzo Fernandez, Facundo Medina, and Nahuel Molina were each on restricted training schedules this weekend following their latest result. Most essential of all, however, Messi remains fit and firing at the center of Lionel Scaloni’s plans.

Egypt could have a problem on its hands at left-back, with Karim Hafez reportedly struggling with injury after the Australia result, and Ahmed Fatough already a concern in the same position. Mohamed Salah converted a spot-kick in the shootout win over Australia but will have to produce a monumental display to keep his side in the competition.
