In unfortunate news for football enthusiasts, Lionel Messi may be absent from Argentina’s upcoming series of international friendlies.
Argentina is scheduled to play against El Salvador on March 23, followed by a match against Costa Rica on March 27.
During Inter Miami’s recent 3-1 victory over Nashville, Messi was substituted in the 49th minute due to a muscular injury in his right hamstring, sustained during the 2022 World Cup.
Prior to his substitution, Messi had already made a significant impact on the match, contributing with both an assist and a goal in the Round of 16 second leg fixture. March 16 NBA Parlay Breakdown: Analyzing Two Winning Strategies
