Doha: The news of Lionel Messi’s injury caused concern among fans before the Argentina-France final in the FIFA World Cup. According to Inside Sport, English media reported that Messi suffered a hamstring injury during the semi-final against Croatia and did not train with the team on Thursday. But the Argentine Football Federation has not made any response in this regard.
At the same time, there are media reports that Messi’s injury is not serious and he will go to the final. The explanation is that some players have been rested. During the match against Croatia, Messi was seen straining his thigh muscles several times.
The Argentina-France final is on Sunday at the Lucille Stadium. Argentina is playing the first World Cup final since 2014. Acuna and Mondiel, who missed the semis due to suspension, will return to the starting eleven for the final. Acuna is a key player in Scoloni’s tactics. Angel Di Maria’s injury recovery gives fans hope. This is a death match for Di Maria who has said that he will retire from international football with this match. Scaloni will be hoping that Julian Alvarez replaces Lautaro Martinez, who has struggled to find form.
