Lionel Messi skips Argentina training ahead of World Cup final: Report
Doha/IBNS: While the entire world is waiting with bated breath to see Lionel Messi play for Argentina in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup against France on Sunday, the soccer superstar skipped training on Friday leaving his fans worried.
A report in The Mirror stated that Messi was seen leaving the pitch, after the 3-0 semi-final win over Croatia, moving awkwardly and clutching his hamstring.
This would be probably the biggest match of the Argentine superstar's career as he tries to win the coveted trophy on his fifth attempt.
Messi, with 5 goals and 3 assists, has already left an incredible mark on this tournament.
However, the crowning glory of his decorated career would definitely be winning the World Cup.
Although no concrete reports of any injury to the superstar have come out of the Argentina camp, several media reports suggested that many players who were part of the semi-final were given an extended recovery period and that is the reason some of the skipped practice and instead took part in a gym session instead.
Argentina will take on defending champion France in the most-waited World Cup final match this Sunday.
