Messi will decide whether he will play against Chile

6.06.2016

The coach of Argentina Gerardo Martino said that the star Lionel Messi will largely have the last word on whether he will play in the first game of the teams in the group stage of the Copa America against Chile.
'Leo and I are going to talk and we will decide whether he will take part in the first game. If he feels good, then he will play. The most important thing is to hear the opinion of the doctor's team. Then the desire of Leo comes.', said Martino.
If Messi does not start in the match against Chile, he will likely be replaced by Nicholas Piping.
'Chile is a very strong team. For us, it would definitely be a problem if we can't use Leo, but the most important thing for him is to make a full recovery, to be 100% ready for the next matches of the tournament.', said Gerardo Martino.
