The one who put an end to the speculations was Gastón Edul. The journalist gave details about the situation of the 10: “They already did the studies on him Leo Messi. There is no major injury, the contracture was minimal and he will work to reach the quarterfinals. They believe that he will be able to participate in the quarterfinals. They ruled out something big like a tear,” he said on TyC Sports.
In this way tranquility returned to the concentration of the Argentine national team after the rumors in the last few hours ruled out the number 10 from the first round of the Copa America playoffs. The date that the coaching staff will be aiming for is July 4 or 5, when the Albiceleste will seek a place in the semifinals of the tournament.
When will the date of the quarterfinals be decided? This Saturday, after the end of the duel against Peru. If the national team finishes in first place, it will play on Thursday 4th at the NRG Stadium, Houston. On the other hand, if it finishes as runner-up, it will be present on Friday, July 5th at the AT&T Stadium, Arlington.
