In this way, while waiting for the captain’s physical condition, the “Herons” will face a new commitment this Sunday against a local team.
Messi arrived at Hong Kong along with the rest of the squad, while David Beckhamdirector of the group of Fort Lauderdalehad arrived on his own a few hours earlier, as a result of a business commitment that he had to carry out.
The big question at this point is whether Gerardo “Tata” Martino, coach of the pink team, will use the Rosario or if he will rest him again to avoid a muscle injury. For now, the idea of the Technical Body seems to be to place him again among the substitutes, although there are still a few days ahead to define the situation.
Although the discomfort would be serious, the coach’s decision was to preserve the 36-year-old footballer in the duel against the cast of Saudi Arabia to prevent injury.
In any case, although the first versions indicated that Messi He wouldn’t even go to the bench, he finally sat down between the relays and entered towards the end of the game.
