Concerns and anxiety have arisen in Argentina regarding Lionel Messi just two days before the World Cup semifinal against England. According to reports in the countries of Wednesday’s two semifinalists, the “Albiceleste” star did not train with the rest of his teammates on the world champion team on Monday due to fatigue from extra time in the quarterfinal match against Switzerland, a match that took place in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The absence of “La Pulga” initially caused concern among “Albiceleste” fans, but AFA officials reassured everyone, stating that the 39-year-old Inter Miami star’s absence was purely a precautionary measure and that he will be available as usual to coach Lionel Scaloniagainst the “Three Lions.”
