Argentina’s star forward, Lionel Messi, made a welcome return to training on Monday as the team prepares for their crucial Copa America quarterfinal clash against Ecuador in Houston. Messi had been sidelined since sustaining a groin/thigh injury during Argentina’s 1-0 win over Chile on June 25th. His absence was felt in the team’s last match, a 2-0 victory against Peru on Saturday, where he was unable to participate.
The Argentine Football Federation provided an update on Messi’s recovery, stating that the 37-year-old underwent some kinesiology work before joining the rest of the team for training. This positive development suggests that Messi is on track for a return to action.
Argentina will face Ecuador in the quarterfinals on Thursday, and all eyes will be on Messi as he aims to lead his team to victory. His return to training is a major boost for Argentina, as Messi’s presence on the field is crucial to their chances of success in the tournament.
