At the end of the first half of the victory against nashville that marked the classification of the Inter Miami to the quarterfinals of the Concachampions, Messi He quickly retired to the locker room, although he returned to play the complement.
However, his presence on the field was short-lived, as he only lasted four minutes before being replaced by Robert Taylor.
“He has an overload in the right posterior. There was no need to take any kind of risk. We tried to see if he could hold out a little longer, but it was bothering him. That’s why we preferred him to leave the game”he pointed Martino at a press conference.
And he added: “I don’t want to take any risks, but I imagine that he won’t be available for Saturday’s game. That’s the only thing I could say for what’s to come. Then we’ll evaluate. They’ll probably take an image of him and we’ll see how he evolves.”
In this way, we will have to wait to confirm the presence of the captain, who yesterday provided an assist and scored a goal, in the national team’s friendlies.
Argentina will face The Savior on Friday March 22 at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and on Tuesday the 26th of the same month they will play against Costa Rica at United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
“We have been aware since the season began, due to different circumstances, that Leo is not going to be part of all the games. But what I want to point out is that if he was decisive and had a lot of impact in 15 years in Barcelona, in a couple of years at PSG and throughout his career in the Argentine National Team, why wouldn’t it be for us?
