Argentina stops breathing.
Lionel Messi was not wrong: on Tuesday, the Argentine captain had already reported discomfort in a muscle in his right leg, which he had felt “not as relaxed as it should have been”. A few days later, things are not much better, and the Inter Miami striker is indeed suffering from a contracture of the right adductor. This will prevent him from playing the last group match of theAlbicelestealready qualified, against Peru, even if Lionel Scaloni had planned to rotate his group whatever happened.
Even if the additional examinations taken this Friday by the player did not reveal any tear, there is a slight hint of concern in the Argentine ranks, since Messi would even be uncertain for the quarter-finals, which will begin next Friday. “We’ll take it day by day, hoping he’ll be there for the next game.”commented to Sports world Walter Samuel, Scaloni’s deputy, who does not want to be « not concerned about this absence”. “The team did well when he wasn’t there. He’s the first one happy when he’s not there to see the team play well.”wanted to reassure the Argentinian coach.
Spoiler : the audiences for Argentina’s third match will not be those expected.
