Why did Messi sit out the match against Bolivia even though he was not injured?

 

Coach Lionel Scaloni shared the reason for leaving superstar Lionel Messi on the bench in Argentina’s latest match.

On the morning of September 13, Argentina won 3-0 against Bolivia in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. In the last match, superstar Lionel Messi was not registered to play even though he still came to the field with his teammates. This makes many fans wonder because Messi was determined not to be injured during a health check on September 11.

Sharing in the post-match interview, coach Scaloni revealed the reason the 36-year-old striker did not play. “Messi is not ready. Yesterday, he tried to recover but didn’t feel good. We don’t want to take risks. Putting Messi on the field can bring risks,” Mr. Scaloni revealed.

However, Argentina still won with a score of 3-0

Before that, Messi only practiced lightly during the training session on the afternoon of September 12. The Argentine player’s physical strength has been affected by the recent busy schedule. According to Tyc Sport, the fact that the match against Bolivia took place in thin air at an altitude of more than 3,600m was also the reason why Mr. Scaloni decided to let Messi rest.

At the end of the competition, Messi posted a photo of the entire team with the caption: “Let’s move forward.” It is known that Messi will not return to Argentina but fly straight from Bolivia to the US to join forces with Inter Miami.

On the morning of September 17, Inter Miami will have a trip to Atlanta United Stadium. The Argentine superstar is likely to play from the start.
