A state of terror caused by the Argentine champion, Lionel Messi, to the fans of his country, after his absence from the first open training session before the World Cup.
Al-Ayoun was looking in vain within the Argentine camp for the Paris Saint-Germain star, but he didn’t appear. Where is Messi? Did something happen to him? Was he injured?
The specter of injuries was the biggest fear, after duo Joaquin Correa and Nicholas Gonzalez left the team’s training camp at Qatar University due to their injury, so the anxiety rippled throughout.
And the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” said that Messi did not participate in training, not because of injury, but because he was in the gym with Rodrigo de Paul, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Nicholas Otamendi, Lisandro Martinez and Juan Foyth .
This is due to their presence in the recent friendly against the Emirates and the fact that they played more minutes than the rest of the players, so they received a special mission and their participation against Saudi Arabia in the first round which is unknown doubt, and above them is Messi, who should appear as a starter.
Argentina will play their first World Cup match next Tuesday against Saudi Arabia, before facing Mexico on November 26, then Poland on the 30th of the same month.
