Lionel Messi suffered an ankle injury while defending the Argentine national team. La Pulga wants to rush back to the field.
Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final paid a heavy price. Messi suffered an injury to his right ankle, so he had to end the match early, in the 65th minute.
Argentina’s winning goal was only created in the 112th minute, aka when the match entered extra time. Lautaro Martinez was the goal scorer for the Albiceleste.
There has been no statement yet on how long Messi will be absent. However, the 37 year old player’s ankle was quite swollen.
After the final match, Messi also emphasized that his condition was fine so that his supporters would not worry.
“The Copa America is over and the first thing I want to do is thank everyone for their messages and words. I’m fine, thank God, and I hope to be back on the pitch soon enjoying what I love most,” said Messi as reported by Tyc Sport.
Messi is left behind by one of his classmates in the Argentine national team again. Angel Di Maria Semi has decided to withdraw from international football semi slot88.
