The National Team trained, with last-minute casualties and waiting for Messi

According to the medical report published on Saturday by the French club, Messi had been undergoing treatment for a flu syndrome for 48 hours, while “Fideo” Di María drags the injury to the left hamstring that he suffered in the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. The left-handed attacker traveled the same, but it is difficult for him to be in Friday’s game since only this Wednesday will be two of the usual three weeks of recovery required by a muscle injury.

The commitment and desire to be with the National Team was also reflected in the gesture of the four footballers who were suspended in mid-February, after learning of the FIFA ruling after the suspended classic against Brazil, in São Paulo, and they are waiting for the TAS ruling after the appeal filed by AFA. Lo Celso and Buendía boarded the charter flight that landed yesterday around 2:00 p.m. and got on the bus that left through the VIP sector of the Ezeiza airport to go to the Julio Humberto Grondona property.

Cordovan “Cuti” Romero, meanwhile, also traveled with his family from London and in the next few hours will join the concentration. Those who will not be in the last two games of the tie will be Lautaro and Lisandro Martínez. The “Bull”, Argentina’s scorer in the Qatar 2022 qualifying contest and the Scaloni cycle, tested positive for covid-19 in the test that was carried out in Milan before traveling to Madrid to meet again with the bulk of those summoned.

The Inter striker played from the start in the 15 matches that Argentina played in the qualifiers, whose qualification for Qatar 2022 he secured in November last year when they drew goalless against Brazil in San Juan. The defender from Entre Ríos, for his part, suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg in the last minutes of the Netherlands classic that Ajax won against Feyenoord in Amsterdam. These two casualties are added to those of Alejandro “Papu” Gómez and Marcos Acuña, both ruled out due to the injuries they suffered in Seville. The National Team will train behind closed doors until Friday, except tomorrow, when it will open the first 15 minutes to the press.
