The Argentina team’s captain, Lionel Messi, confessed his worries following the departures of Paulo Dybala and Angel de Maria, but he is certain that they will recover in time for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Messi, 35, said that the injuries worried the players before every significant tournament. Messi missed the last two games for his team, Paris Saint-Germain, owing to a hard-leg injury.
“It is a source of anxiety because it is a different world cup and at a different time and we are very close to the date so the occurrence of anything simple may cause your absence.
I hope that the two will have enough time to recover so that they can do well in the finals, and I also hope that we will all arrive there in good health.
De Maria, a playmaker for Juventus, had a thigh injury that may prevent him from competing in the finals in Qatar, which are held in November and December. Roma forward Dybala also sustained a thigh injury.
Messi noted that it is “frightening” to think about getting hurt during the World Cup.
The former Barcelona legend remarked, “Seeing these things is frightening, but thinking about them may have the opposite effect.”
Dealing normally and playing appropriately is the best course of action.
On Sunday at the French First Division Summit, Messi was prepared to take the field against Olympique Marseille.
Argentina is in the World Cup’s third group along with Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland.
Prior to the World Cup, Messi experiences “fear.”
