Lionel Messi is still injured, and now he could receive worse news.

Lionel Messi and Argentina won their crucial match against Paraguay, 1-0 with a goal from Nicolas Otamendi. The news of the match was not so much the victory, but the participation of Lionel Messi, who had been suffering from an injury for a month.

In fact, Lionel Messi was injured a month ago, when Argentina played against Ecuador. Since that match, Messi missed four games with Inter Miami, and barely managed to come on in the 53rd minute of the game. Although the fact that he played is very good news, now in Argentina they are worried about the Argentine's condition.

Diego Fernando Latorre, former Argentina player who suffered from injuries similar to those of Lionel Messi: "It is a discomfort in the most important tear he has had in his career." Depsués explained further: "What he is having are adhesions. It is a tear that it was healed, but that around the scar adhesions are generated that cause pain and give you the feeling that at any moment you are going to break. You don't break, you can continue playing, but it hurts. You have to put your finger in it to go softening it, I say this because I am an expert in tears.

Lionel Messi may be at risk:

To close his participation, Diego Fernando Latorre confirmed: "If that tear reopens there is a risk that it will be chronic and that it will have to be operated on."
