Lionel Messi was not available for the match against Bolivia on the second date of the Conmebol qualifiers. The Argentine soccer player decided not to risk it and preferred to rest the match, according to the coach of the Argentine National Team, Lionel Scaloni. However, the Argentine team managed to emerge victorious from the match against the Bolivians in a tough setting. However, one of his teammates stressed how important the player is.

 

Marcos Acuna, one of the most important players of the Albiceleste, placed himself in a great way to win the 2022 World Cup and sends a message to Messi. "For me he is the great leader of the country. Without him we would not have won the World Cup. For me he exceeds football, he exceeds everything," the Sevilla left back commented with a smile on his face about the Scaloneta captain.
Then, the former Racing referred to the excellent climate that is experienced each time he gets together with his teammates from the Albiceleste.

The star ended up with discomfort last Thursday in the 1-0 victory over Ecuador - he was replaced at the end of the game - which generated concern among the coaching staff. He underwent tests due to the discomfort, but he was fit and that is why he traveled with his teammates to La Paz, but his inclusion in the starting eleven was ruled out.
The captain's non-presence was due to the fact that the challenge of playing a complete game at 3,625 meters above sea level, at the age of 36, is not at all easy.

 

Will Messi play with Inter Miami against Atlanta United?

The presence of the Argentine forward with his MLS team has a lot to do with what Gerardo Martino and the club's medical staff really consider. According to TyC Sports, Messi wants to play said match and that is why he was saved in the most recent commitment. However, everything will end up being defined in the following days by his team.
