On January 28, Beijing time, the World Preliminary Tournament Americas region will usher in the match between Argentina and Chile, before this game, Argentina announced that there is no Messi in the big list. He will miss this game, as well as the next game against Colombia. Before the match, head coach Scaloni confirmed that he had communicated with Messi before deciding not to call messi. Given that Argentina have already won a World Cup spot in Qatar, it was decided not to let Messi take the risk together.
"It's clear that we want Messi to be with us, I talked to him and he told me that COVID-19 is a big blow to him. Getting him back is key and that's why I think the best option is to keep him at the club. Paris also thanked Argentina for this decision. The two sides have had many war of words over whether Messi can reduce the number of national team matches, and Paris hopes that Messi can get enough rest. Messi's infection was caused by violating the rules of the epidemic and attending a party.
Scaloni's words also confirmed once again that the new crown virus has hit Messi more seriously. It should be noted that since the winter break, Messi has missed 4 club games, and in the last game against Reims, Messi only replaced Di Maria in the second half, but still did not score. On Wednesday, local time, the local media found that Messi was training at the training base in Paris, and he still looked full of smiles. But it is still difficult to recover to the best condition, for the future prospects, Paris team currently only hope that he can fully recover in the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, which shows the impact of the new crown virus on Messi. In the coming period, Messi will stay at the Paris base for rehabilitation training in order to try to achieve the best possible situation against Real Madrid.
