Not happy, Leonardo.
The sporting director of PSG is angry with Lionel Scaloni, the coach of Argentina, for having summoned Lionel Messi and especially Leandro Paredes for the next two international matches while his players are injured or just in the recovery phase.
The bad Paredes joke
The midfielder's case, in particular, sounds like a bad joke.
Injured during the last rally in October, he has not played again since with PSG.
His return to training was only scheduled for the weekend, but Scaloni called him all the same, when he will no doubt be too fair to play against Uruguay on Friday and even on Tuesday for the clash. against Brazil.
"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, said Leonardo in
Le Parisien on
Sunday.
This is not logical, and this type of situation deserves that we define a real settlement with Fifa.
"
Navas officially forfeited
As for Messi, forfeit in Bordeaux because affected in a thigh and in the left knee, his recovery was scheduled for midweek.
The Parisian staff would obviously have liked him to avoid a long trip and to finish taking care of himself quietly, in order not to take any risks.
But the club cannot oppose the departure of its players for selection.
At least he won't have a problem with Keylor Navas.
The goalkeeper injured an elbow on Saturday in Bordeaux and is officially forfeited for both Costa Rica matches.
"An MRI revealed that the player suffered from a sprained right elbow, with difficulty reaching out," the Costa Rican Federation confirmed in a statement.
