Argentina coach concerned about Lionel Messi’s injury
The Argentine international has yet to play since picking up an injury in the Copa America final in July
July 15, 2024, was the last day we saw Lionel Messi on the field. It was in the Copa América final, against Colombia, which, despite being won by Argentina , did not leave such good memories for Messi .
The Argentine star left in the 66th minute due to an injury to his right ankle and, since then, the world champion has not played again.
For Inter Miami , his Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba , Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez are doing their job. In Argentina , other players have also done their job, but Messi ‘s absence is still felt.
The Albiceleste captain was not called up for this international break and is already starting to worry Lionel Scaloni, the Argentine coach, who still does not know a date for Messi ‘s return : «It is difficult for a team not to depend on Messi », he said.
“But the good thing is that we have an idea of the game, regardless of who is on the pitch. The players may change, but they play the same way. Of course, when he is not on the pitch, we are still the same, but without the special touch that he has. The quality of the players is similar in all positions. I hope he will be back playing soon,” Scaloni told TyC Sports.
