Moments ago, Argentina secured a resounding 2-0 victory against Peru. A brace from Lionel Messi helped Lionel Scaloni’s side clinch an emphatic win and extend their winning streak. As if the final scoreboard wasn’t enough to bring smiles to the faces of his ardent fans, the Argentina boss also gave a huge update on the soccer veteran’s injury.

After the match, Scaloni was queried about Messi’s health. Interestingly, he had a positive update on La Pulga. The boss said, “Messi it is as if he had not had any injury or stoppage. The team plays in a way that benefits him and he feels comfortable. I hope he plays as long as he can. The most important thing is that he is healthy, then he will manage minutes.”

Certainly, Scaloni’s words make it clear that he is fit and fine and doesn’t have any injury concerns. Additionally, this development increases the likelihood of their star player participating in the final MLS game. However, it’s unclear if Messi will partake in his last domestic game, given that Tata Martino revealed his reluctance to risk La Pulga.

Will Tata Martino risk Lionel Messi for the final MLS games?

Earlier, Tata Martino was questioned over the availability of Messi for their remaining two MLS games against Charlotte. However, the Miami boss insisted he has no plans to insist on having La Pulga in the squad if his condition is deemed unfit for the match. He stressed that the thorough evaluation of all players, not exclusively Messi, returning from international commitments is a priority to avoid any injury risks.

However, with Lionel Scaloni’s encouraging update, the Herons boss may gain the confidence to field his No. 10. The Herons are scheduled to play their first match against Charlotte tomorrow. Perhaps they may have to navigate the initial fixture without their captain. It remains to be seen if graces the pitch for the final match. Any thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
