Lionel Messi is improving from left hamstring muscle fatigue before Argentina’s World Cup opener against Algeria. Lionel Scaloni said Messi has trained partly with the group and could receive minutes in upcoming friendlies.
Messi sustained the issue during his final Inter Miami match before joining Argentina’s camp. Scaloni said the progress gives the squad calm, while Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, Nico Paz and Gonzalo Montiel are also recovering separately.
