Argentina captain Lionel Messi was forced off the pitch in pain after copping a knock to his lower-back area against Honduras.
Lionel Messi has been cleared of serious injury after hurting his ribs and back in Argentina's final Copa America Centenario warmup fixture on Friday.
Messi hobbled off the pitch in pain just after the hour mark in Argentina's 1-0 win over Honduras in San Juan, with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) later confirming the captain suffered rib and back contusions.
The 28-year-old was visibly distressed after copping a knock to the lower-back area and receiving treatment on the ground before being substituted.
