Lionel Messi faces hamstring injury; concerns grow as he skips training for World Cup final

Lionel Messi did not participate in Argentina's training session on Thursday, raising concerns that he is injured ahead of Sunday's World Cup final.

According to several sources, Argentina's talisman is nursing an injury sustained in Tuesday's 3-0 semi-final victory over Croatia. Messi was spotted moving awkwardly and gripping his hamstring at the conclusion of the game in Lusail, but he was eager to assuage any fears after the game, saying he will be okay for Argentina's last match against France.

Argentina will be holding their breath over the fitness of captain Lionel Messi after he missed training on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Messi isn't 100 percent after picking up a knock in the semi-final triumph over Croatia, and the 2022 World Cup final against France is just three days away.


Messi, on the other hand, is injury-free, according to Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who believes his captain will be available for the FIFA World Cup 2022 final. It was a difficult game for Messi to play 120 minutes against the Netherlands, according to Martinez, but Messi wants to finish every match. According to Martinez, Messi is a physically strong player who constantly wins games.

Messi has been important in his team advancing to the final. He either scored goals or set up goals for his teammates. Messi either scored or assisted on eight of Argentina's 12 goals in Qatar 2022. That is precisely why Argentina supporters are concerned about Messi's health.
