Messi misses Argentina’s first half of training;  Almada and Correa arrive in Qatar

The Albiceleste team carried out activities at the University of Qatar and the first fifteen minutes were open to the press. During this period, the number 10 jersey did not appear, which raised questions about the athlete’s physical condition.

However, Lionel Messi continued to work in the academy with De Paul, Paredes, Di MarĂ­a, Otamendi, Lisandro MartĂ­nez and Foyth and did special jobs. When the press withdrew from the seat, the ace went to the field.

Argentina is in Group C together with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland. He will then make his debut on Tuesday, in Saudi Arabia, and then face Mexico, on the 26th, at 16:00, and finalize the first phase against Poland, at 16:00, at EstĂĄdio 974.

Midfielder Thiago Almada and striker Ángel Correa have already arrived in Qatar and are with the team. The pair were recalled by the coaching staff following the cuts of Joaquín Correa and Nico Gonzålez, both through injuries.

Angel Correa will wear number 15, which belonged to NicolĂĄs GonzĂĄlez, while Thiago Almada will wear number 16, which belonged to JoaquĂ­n Correa.

Mr. Scaloni has three doubts about his debut line-up. On the sides, the commander has not yet defined who will be the owner: Acuña or Tagliafico, already on the right Molina or Montiel.

Furthermore, the coach has not yet defined Lo Celso’s replacement. The trend is for Mac Allister, who played against the United Arab Emirates, to start. Another option is to retire Messi and field an attacking trio of Di MarĂ­a, Lautaro MartĂ­nez and Julian Álvarez.

Argentina trains from 12:00 (Brasilia time) on Sunday, in an activity completely closed to the press. The activity will also take place at the University of Qatar.
