Messi's fitness test results are in: good news for Argentina. The striker had a problem with his adductor muscles, but it was not serious and there was no tear.
According to TyC, the Inter Miami striker can breathe a sigh of relief after the team doctor confirmed that Messi did not suffer a physical problem that led to the end of the match, and there were fears that Messi would end the game after it was previously reported that Messi was injured in the Group A match against Chile.
Is Lionel Messi back in the quarterfinals?
Why is this player not guaranteed to play in the quarterfinals of the Copa America, now that the result of the match is completely negative, the possibilities of his participation are infinite.
However, having said that, that doesn't change the fact that Argentina want Messi to stay on a low level until he recovers and gets back in shape. Bringing Messi back too early or letting him play too long would pose a risk to Messi, which would cost him potential tournament title assets. But of course, the medical and technical staff in Argentina know this: they will only be glad that Messi did not return to his Miami mansion by plane.
