Leo Messi trained alone and very carefully
Lionel Messi did not take the field with the rest of his Argentina teammates. The '10' trained alone in the gym after his effort in the meeting against the Netherlands.
Leo Messi trained on his own at Qatar University on Saturday, a day after Argentina's victory over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
The '10' stayed in the gym, where he did some recovery work with the fitness trainers. The players who started the match against the Dutch team did not have much work to do either.
The 'Albiceleste' players trained on exercise bikes before taking the field, where they focused on recovering from the previous day's intense effort.
Scaloni preferred not to risk Angel di Maria or Papu Gomez, as both are struggling with injuries. Both the Juventus and Sevilla players trained at an even slower pace than the rest. Rodrigo de Paul, who seems to be fully recovered, was able to join the rest of his teammates. Moreover, Scaloni allowed the families of the internationals to visit.
