Lionel Messi Injury Update Today, News, Status And Return Date Ahead Of FIFA World Cup 2022
Will Messi be in doubt for the World Cup?
The club insists that it is merely a small issue and they anticipate Leo to resume full training the following week. Next weekend, PSG will play Auxerre in their final game before the World Cup break.
- Injury: Achilles tendon
- Type: Not serious
- Return: Next week
The Qatar World Cup will be the last major tournament for Leo.
The Argentina team’s captain Messi is eager to lead his nation to victory on December 18 and will be aiming to move past the situation in time for their November 22 match against Saudi Arabia. Messi has already declared that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be his last.
He came closest to winning the one big trophy that eludes him throughout his distinguished career when his nation lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany.
Messi has been in fine form.
The attacker, who has 12 goals and 14 assists for PSG in all competitions this year, did play the entire game on Wednesday at Juventus in PSG’s last Champions League group match. However, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is understandably cautious after witnessing friends Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria get hurt right before the competition.
Injuries are holding Argentina back.
The most recent injury Leo has had to recover from this season is the cause of the new fitness issue. However, just a few weeks ago, fans were horrified when Messi was seen limping against Maccabi Haifa after missing two games due to a calf problem.
This World Cup is different from others since it is being played at a different time of the year, and because it is so close, even a small injury can end any player’s participation. The reality is that when players see those kinds of things, they get worried and become more afraid, as was the case with what happened to Dybala and Di Maria.
However, Argentina is hoping Dybala and Di Maria to get well soon. They have enough time to do so and yet get at the competition in good shape.
