Messi Injury rules him out of Spain game


A muscle fatigue in his hamstrings and the adductor has ruled Argentina Superstar Lionel Messi out of playing against Spain on Tuesday night.
Despite having completed two training
sessions on Sunday and Monday respectively without any problem, the issues came up again on Monday night.Though he was going to be given until the last possible moment to prove his fitness, it's already clear that the Argentine captain can't play. The problems already prevented him from playing the friendly against Italy, however, it was Messi's intention to start against La Roja.
"My idea is to play against Spain," he said to Fox Sports on Monday afternoon. "I was left with the choice to play against Italy and didn't, but I trained normally, I felt good, so I hope to play."
But the desire of thousands of fans to see him will not be fulfilled. Except for a huge surprise at the eleventh hour, Messi won't play at the Wanda. The Argentina coach is already working on other options, with this eleven: Romero; Bustos, Otamendi, Rojo, Tagliafico; Mascherano, Banega; Meza, Lo Celso, Pavon; and Higuain.
In other words, Lo Celso would be the
substitute for Lionel Messi.
