Lima: There is concern that Argentina will miss the presence of captain Lionel Messi, who is regarding to face Paraguay in the World Cup qualifying match. Coach Lionel Scaloni said that although there was no problem when he started training, the player’s ability to play is in doubt. ‘We have one more training session, one more important one for him. “After talking to him, we have to make sure he can play,” Scaloni said. The Argentina-Paraguay match is on Friday at 4.30 am Indian time.
There is also a match once morest Peru following five days, so it is highly likely that Messi who is not fully fit will not play. If Messi doesn’t play, Scaloni plans to play Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez and Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez in the forward line.
Messi came on as a second-half substitute for Inter Miami in the Major League on Saturday. The Argentine has only played 37 minutes for the club since September 3rd. Having won both matches played in the World Cup qualifying round, Argentina are tied with Brazil at the top of the table with six points.
