Why Messi doesn’t play against Costa Rica
Last March 13, after providing an assist and scoring a goal, Lionel Messi was injured in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League between Inter Miami and Nashville. Las Herons progresses to the next phase which qualifies for the Club World Cup (thanks to the aggregate score of 5-3), but Leo has to be replaced after 50 minutes.
This week he returned to training and should be available to Gerardo Martino again in the next few days.
