Lionel Messi Trains Alone After Missing Agrentina National Team
Lionel Messi is set to miss out on Argentina's two friendlies through injury.
During the match against Nashville SC in the Concacaf Champions Cup last week, Messi was substituted in the 50th minute. After securing a 3-1 victory, Inter Miami boss Tata Martino attempted to quell worries surrounding his star player, insisting Messi was taken off because of "a muscle overload in his right leg."
The injury proved to be more severe than initially thought, however. Messi was sidelined for Miami’s 3-1 win over D.C United, with Martino saying after the match that they’had play it safe.
Now Argentina appears unwilling to take any risk and push Messi while he’s not 100% healthy, either.
The statement said: "The captain of Argentina Lionel Messi, will not be able to be in the squad for the friendlies in USA due to a minor injury to the hamstring of his right leg suffered in his team's Inter Miami's match against Nashville SC."
