A state of terror caused by the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, to the fans of his country, after his absence from the first open training session before the World Cup.
Al-Ayoun was searching inside the Argentine camp for the Paris Saint-Germain star, to no avail, but he did not appear. Where is Messi? Did something happen to him? Was he injured?
The specter of injuries was the greatest fear, after the duo Joaquin Correa and Nicholas Gonzalez left the team camp at Qatar University due to their injury, so anxiety spread everywhere.
And the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” said that Messi did not participate in training, not because of the injury, but because he was in the gym with Rodrigo de Paul, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Nicholas Otamendi, Lisandro Martinez and Juan Foyth.
This came because of their presence in the recent friendly confrontation with the UAE, and their playing for more minutes than the rest of the players, so they got a special mission, and their participation against Saudi Arabia in the first round about which there is no doubt, led by Messi, who is expected to appear as a starter.
Argentina will play its first match in the World Cup next Tuesday against Saudi Arabia, before facing Mexico on November 26, then Poland on the 30th of the same month.
