He is in training now.

It is very strange indeed. Now I am reading stuff saying it is his adductor muscle that has been feeling something for a while, but then again he looked fine during his initial training with Argentina when their squad got together a couple of days ago and he scored an amazing goal in training.

Which one specifically?
Adductor longus, brevis or maximus?

Or is it the pectineus, or is it the gracillis muscle?

 

[Barcaman]

Something is definitely up. Messi loves Argentina and would definitely play if fit.

I just hope it's nothing serious.

Apparently he trained at the same pace as everyone today for at least the first 15 minutes of training (then the press left). Some reports are saying that he will be on the bench on Tuesday and some that he will leave for Barcelona today and won't play at all. The second option looks unlikely, since he apparently finished the training sessin today.

There is only one certain thing so far. He won't play on Tuesday, unless he feels 100%. Too much at stake for both Barca and Argentina.

If it was something serious, wouldn't he go back to Barcelona to see the doctors?

Not worried, really.

He is back in training with the Argentina squad today. I am afraid that he will play against Spain since they are without Di Maria and Aguero already.

I just hope he doesn't play against Spain regardless of the extent of his injuries. It's a good time for him to get some rest.

 

[Hardy]

i think he had nothing, it's a justification to play only one match this week, can't even remember last time he played 2 friendly games with NT

 

[Barcaman]

Can't make out anything.

 

[FCBfan22]

I think that if he will play on Tuesday, he'll play as a CF, with 0 defensive duties

 

[BarçaBarça]

I hope he will rest for this pointless friendly, and maybe even for our game as well.
We need him to be fully fit for the rest of the matches!

Agreed, there's no point in risking him.

Whats happening to leo. So many interviews in short times where he actually answers so many question for example his decision to retire from inter duty and his position with dybala etcc. He is also starting to realise now that he needs to rest now and then to stay fresh
