However, Messi's injury in the game against Chile became Argentina's first problem. In the game against Chile, Messi was once off the field for treatment. After the game, Messi revealed, "My muscles were a little tight, not relaxed enough, which made me a little uncomfortable, but I was able to finish the game. I didn't feel any pain, but I did feel a little tight, which made it difficult for me to run. ”

TYC revealed that Messi will miss the game against Peru due to adductor discomfort in his right leg, and Messi will need 10 to 12 days to recover and is expected to return in the knockout round. Meanwhile, Acuña will also miss out due to injury.

On Friday, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) abruptly informed the Argentine Football Federation that Scaloni had been suspended for one match due to the postponement of both matches. Against Peru, Aimar will take the place of Scaloni in commanding the match.
