Lionel Messi has ruled out playing in this summer's Olympic Games with Argentina, saying it would be "too much" to play in Paris after representing his country at the Copa América.

A host of European-based talent has been blocked from Olyroos selection for this month's Under-23 Asian Cup, while Nestory Irankunda has also been omitted.

Will Lionel Messi represent Argentina at the Olympics and Copa América this summer? Inter Miami has issued its warning, but Messi makes his own rules.
