Argentina forward Lionel Messi left the field early in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Brazil (1-0).
"I felt discomfort in my adductor muscle. It was my last game of the year, so I will have time to recover to start 2024 giving my best," ESPN quoted Messi as saying.
As a reminder, the start of the match was postponed for 30 minutes due to a clash between Albiceleste fans and the police.
