Lionel Messi underwent light training away from his teammates in the Argentina national team, sparking speculation among some fans that he may be dealing with an injury just three days before his team's opening match in the World Cup against Saudi Arabia. However, Argentine media reported that the 35-year-old captain, who is participating in the World Cup for the fifth and final time, did not join the training session as a "precautionary" measure due to muscle fatigue. Messi also did not participate in the main training for the Argentina team at Qatar University on Friday, remaining in the gym with some other players.
