Lionel Messi’s recent adductor muscle injury has sidelined him from Argentina’s upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Uruguay and Brazil.

Messi’s low-grade muscle strain, confirmed by an MRI, has led to his exclusion from the national squad for the qualifiers.

This injury occurred during Inter Miami’s match against Atlanta United, where Messi experienced discomfort after scoring in a 2-1 victory.

At 37, Messi will remain in the United States to recover, marking a significant absence for the reigning world champions.

Argentina’s Performance Without Their Star Player

Historically, Argentina has shown resilience in Messi’s absence.

Since 2018, under coach Lionel Scaloni, the team has played 17 matches without Messi, achieving 13 wins, three draws, and only one loss.

Notably, in a recent Copa America match, Argentina secured a 2-0 victory over Peru without Messi, demonstrating the squad’s depth and adaptability.

Upcoming Challenges Against Uruguay and Brazil

Argentina leads the CONMEBOL qualifying standings with 25 points from 12 games.

They are set to face second-placed Uruguay on Friday and Brazil on March 25.

Both opponents present formidable challenges, especially with Messi absent.

However, Argentina’s recent performances suggest they are equipped to compete effectively, relying on a cohesive team dynamic and the emergence of new talents.

In conclusion, while Messi’s absence is significant, Argentina’s track record without him indicates a capacity to maintain strong performances.

The upcoming qualifiers will test the team’s resilience and ability to adapt, potentially uncovering new strengths within the squad.
