Argentina may have to cope without Lionel Messi for tonight’s friendly with Italy with reports flying about that the Barcelona star is a doubt due to injury.
The rumours appear to have originated from TyC Sports in Argentina who state that Messi will only play if he is feeling 100% fit and that he felt some discomfort.
Mundo Deportivo are also on the case and cite a report from Argentinian newspaper Ole who reckon that he has “slight muscular fatigue in the adductor area.”
Messi apparently hasn’t been ruled out of the game yet and there’s a suggestion he could start but come off early.
