Argentine star Lionel Messi participated in part of his country’s training on Tuesday in Miami, before moving to Houston, where “Tango” is preparing to face Venezuela next Thursday in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America.
Walter Samuel, a member of the Argentine technical staff who replaced the suspended Lionel Scaloni in last Saturday’s match against Peru, said: “We will see his condition day by day, and we will decide according to what the doctors advise and according to how much he improves.”
Currently, the Argentina captain is feeling better, after suffering from adductor pain during the match against Chile and receiving medical treatment during the match that took place on Tuesday last week.
Messi (37 years old) then rested for four days and did not play against Peru, before returning to participate in part of the training.

Sevilla defender Marcos Acuna, who has been suffering from a muscle overload in his right thigh since the Chile match, also trained with the physiotherapist on the pitch, according to the Argentine Football Association.
Argentina, the world champion, is also participating in the Copa America as the title holder, knowing that this may be the last time that “La Pulga” participates in the continental tournament.
