There is a state of optimism in the Argentine camp about the possibility of Lionel Messi participating in the “Tango” match against Ecuador in the 2024 Copa America quarter-finals.
Messi missed Peru’s last match in the group stage after suffering an adductor muscle injury in the previous match against Chile, with doubts about the possibility of him joining the Ecuador match as well.
The Inter Miami star did not participate in any activity for 4 days, and there are demands that he get more rest to ensure his presence in the semi-finals.
According to the Mundo Deportivo report, Messi participated in part of Argentina’s group training on Monday, increasing his chances of joining the Ecuador match.
The current trend within Argentina is for the player to participate partially in the Ecuador match only if it is confirmed that he is not suffering from any pain, and the one who will make the decision will be Messi himself.
It is noteworthy that if Argentina succeeds in passing Ecuador, it will face the winner of the Canada-Venezuela match in the semi-finals.
