Argentina forward Lionel Messi will miss his country's friendly clash with Morocco on Tuesday after picking up a groin injury.
As relayed by Goal's Daniel Edwards, the team's Twitter account confirmed Messi suffered the issue during the clash with Venezuela on Friday:
Daniel Edwards ud83dudc9aIn perhaps the least surprising news of the night (apart from how bad the defence was because, well, Argentina) Lionel Messi has been ruled out of the game against Morocco with an injury that almost certainly won't rule him out of any Barcelona games. https://t.co/Cu5m4VK0PG
It was Messi's first match for the national team since the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
