The coach of the Argentine national team, Lionel Scaloni, has decided that the team's star, Lionel Messi, will train separately from the other players following a recurrence of his injury. A report by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" stated that Messi trained alone on Thursday in preparation for the match against Mexico on Saturday. According to "Marca," Messi is still suffering from an injury he sustained while warming up before the Argentina vs. UAE match, in preparation for the World Cup.
What concerns the team coach is that Messi's injury, which is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, has kept the "little flea" from playing in Paris Saint-Germain's match against Lorient in Ligue 1 before the World Cup, and it seems to have returned after the unexpected loss against Saudi Arabia 2-1.
The "Marca" report confirmed that Messi is expected to participate in his team's upcoming match against Mexico, but there are fears about the possibility of aggravating his current injury or suffering a new one. The sports newspaper predicted that Scaloni would make changes to his lineup against Mexico, dismissing the idea of Messi remaining on the bench, given the importance of the match for the "Tango dancers."
