Messi violates the directives of his French club and participates in the training of the Argentine national team

Argentine star Lionel Messi participated in the group exercises for the "Tango" team, in preparation for his important entitlements against Uruguay and Brazil in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. Doubts are swirling about the possibility of the 34-year-old "flea" participating with his country, against the background of the feeling of the newcomer to Paris Saint-Germain, France, with muscle discomfort in one thigh and recurring pain in his left knee 10 days ago.

It is expected that Messi's participation with his country will lead to a crisis between the player and the Argentine Federation, and Saint-Germain, where the coach of the Parisian club, Mauricio Pochettino, had deliberately taken out his compatriot during the break against Lille (Saint-Germain won 2-1) in the "Ligue 1", Before the former Barcelona legend missed the next two matches for his team against Leipzig (2-2) in the fourth round of the Champions League, and Bordeaux (3-2) in the 13th stage of the local league. The French club directed a request to rest Messi and keep him away from matches in the current period, in order to avoid the aggravation of the injury.

And the Spanish channel "La Sixta" had broadcast video clips showing Messi in the capital, Madrid, this evening, as they were leaving a physiotherapy clinic, where Joaquin Juan, founder of this medical center, had previously treated the Argentine after suffering a collateral ligament tear in 2015.

According to many Argentine media, Messi is scheduled to participate in the next two matches, as Argentina travels to the capital, Montevideo, to face the Uruguay national team, on Friday, before receiving Brazil, the leaders of the group, on Wednesday, the 17th of this month.
