Lionel Messi is a doubt for the match against Bolivia, after the discomfort suffered at the end of the match against Ecuador. The Argentine player might not be a risk for this match and the Argentina coach is already talking about the availability of the player for this match. Playing in La Paz is one of the most challenging scenarios for any soccer player.

Bolivia has one of the most complicated scenarios of all. The team has always positioned itself in an important way in its stadium where it takes advantage of the great height. Therefore, the players who go out to this match have to be physically fit, as it is a complicated scenario for them.

But the discomfort does not seem to be serious and Lionel Scaloni, in his Press conference prior to the trip, confirmed this Sunday that Leo will be there: "Leo is going to travel, today he trained separately, but he is fit. There are two days left, and we will take a decision on whether or not he plays the day before or on Tuesday. Messi and Cuti Romero are fit, and we'll see if he plays starting or from the bench or even if he doesn't play. He trained separately as a precaution and the other day "He was tired and asked for a change, but he will be in Bolivia."

What Scaloni says about the starting team

For his part, Scaloni said that there will not be many changes with respect to the eleven from the 1-0 against Ecuador on Thursday night: "The team will be similar to the other day, the block will be the same as always, although there will be some variation." Argentina wants to continue on the right path and try to add in an extremely complicated field.
