i watched parts of the training session he got injjured it was not as if they were doing fitness or anything it was a light session.. and for Argentina (especially right now) every result is important...as a manager you cannot go into a match with the mindset that one of your players IS going to get hurt, xavi played for spain, dani alves for brasil, so why wouldnt Messi play against russia. You can bad mouth Maradona all you want, but he is huge for my country and we will always be grateful to his achievements.. as a manager he still has a lot to prove but i am confident things will sort out, and i have a good feeling for the brasil match...
