Messi misses first Argentina open practice in Doha

One day after two footballers were sent home due to injury in the Argentina squad, Lionel Messi and six other players worked separately from the rest of their team on Friday, in a sign of coach Lionel Scaloni's fear of suffering another loss days before his debut. against Saudi Arabia in the World Cup.

Messi, midfielders Rodrigo De Paul and Leandro Paredes; defender Nicolas Otamendi and forward Angel di Maria - regular starters - along with defenders Lisandro Martinez and Juan Foyth did not go out to the training camp of the Qatar University and stayed in the gym, said the Argentine Football Association (AFA).

The reasons were not reported, but the practice is adopted in case of injury, recovery or prevention.

Argentina will debut on Tuesday against Saudi Arabia in Group C, which also includes Mexico and Poland.

The absence of the seven players altered the start of the practice, open to the press for 15 minutes, after Scaloni made the decision the day before to rule out forwards Nicolas Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa out of the World Cup due to muscle and knee injuries, respectively.
