Cautious Optimism: Lionel Messi’s Muscle Injury and Rest Strategy for Argentina in Copa America

Breathe Argentina. The exploration of Leo Messi’s muscle injury in his thigh, produced during the clash against Chile, it seems that it is nothing more than a contracture, and no more tests are even going to be done this Wednesday. There’s no need. Just rest and treatment in the next few hours.

Argentina will play again on Saturday against Peru on the third day and then he would go to some quarters on Thursday or Friday. But, yes, Leo Messi will rest for almost 10 days and will not be in the initial game against Peru. It’s not worth risking when the team is already in the quarterfinals.

In addition, Lionel Scaloni confirmed that the substitutes will play against Peru: “Those who were not in these first two games will play because I need to see them and, furthermore, they deserve it.

This is how he explained it after the crash: “My adductor got a little hard and couldn’t be loose. MIt bothered me a little bit, but I was able to finish the game. I will see in these days how it evolves. I hope it’s nothing serious. “In one of the first plays I felt a pinch and it was difficult for me to move freely.”

The pity is that the The third game will be at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the city where Leo lives right now and where he is a true idol. The public may miss some (or all) of Leo’s minutes in that game. “There are several crashes, long trips, many days in hotels, resting poorly… I still don’t know if I’m going to stop for that third game. I’m coming, in addition to a couple of days with a sore throat, fever and maybe it took its toll on me” .

Anyway… it is difficult for Leo to start against Peru, even if he starts in the quarterfinals he will be one hundred percent.
