PSG: Lionel Messi should play Friday against Uruguay

Will Leo Messi play the match against Uruguay this Friday on behalf of the 13th day of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for the Amsud zone?

The Argentines (with one less match to play against Brazil), who are 9 points ahead of their opponent (3rd) and 10 units on the last ticket for the World Cup, would make a decisive step in the event of success in Uruguay.

Leo Messi and his Argentinian PSG teammate Leandro Paredes flew to Argentina this Sunday evening where they joined their selection. The six-time Golden Ball suffers from hamstring discomfort and knee pain as his partner resumed racing after a left thigh quadriceps injury. The two friends therefore made a trip of more than 13 hours to have their respective injuries noted and to continue their care. the PSG had no way of opposing it even if the club of the capital tried to seize the Fifa but without success.

Arrived Monday at the Ezeiza training center, Leo Messi was just content with an individual session based on races in the same way as Leandro Paredes. But according to Argentinian media Tyc Sports, the former Barça star could take part in the match against Uruguay even if he would have to settle for a substitute role. The objective of the Argentinian staff is to see him start for the shock against Brazil (1st with 10 wins and a draw), on Wednesday November 17 at 12:30 am (French time).

The prospect for the Argentines to face a talented but above all very rough Uruguayan team frightens the Parisian leaders. On September 3, a Venezuelan player was the author of a very nasty tackle on Lionel Messi during a playoff match at the World Cup between Argentina and Venezuela. During this very dangerous contact, the PSG star flew into the air before falling and writhing in pain and then lying for a long time on the lawn. Finally, the "Pulga" was able to get up and finish the match, victim of a big blow and a nasty cut on the knee.

“We do not agree to let go for selection a player who, for us, is not in physical condition or who is in the rehabilitation phase.

This is not logical, and this type of situation deserves that we define a real settlement with Fifa, ”had thus castigated the sports director of PSG, Leonardo, in our columns.

In the meantime, the Parisian leaders will cross their fingers so that their star does not come back injured.

Important deadlines arrive quickly, such as the Champions League meeting on November 24 in Manchester City, important for qualifying for the round of 16 and decisive for first place in group A.
