There were rumors about the reason for Lionel Messi's absence, although everything seemed to indicate that it was an injury. Now, after the match, which ended 4-1 in favor of the Americans, Gerardo Martino explained the reason to the media.

"He has an inflammation in the adductor. We have had images that we have taken of him in Arabia. We take him day by day but we always have the expectation that he can evolve"

"The medical team told us that it was very risky for the footballer to play in the game. I apologize to the fans for his absence and I understand his disappointment."
