Soccer Football - Copa America 2024 - Group B - Chile v Argentina - MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States - June 25, 2024 Argentina's Lionel Messi reacts REUTERS/Agustin MarcarianLionel Messi may sit out Argentina's next Copa America game against Peru to rest a sore thigh with his team already qualified for the next round after two wins.
"It bothers me a bit, but I was able to stay on until the end. I hope it's nothing serious ... I wasn't able to move properly because of the bother," he said, acknowledging it might be wiser to sit out the Peru game on Saturday. His penalty shootout miss helped condemn Argentina to an agonising loss to Chile in the 2016 Copa America final, leaving an inconsolable Messi vowing to quit international football after yet another failure with his national side.
He captained Argentina to triumph at the last Copa America in 2021 and at the Qatar World Cup in 2022.
