Lionel Messi could miss Friday’s friendly between Argentina and Italy as it is claimed the Barcelona superstar has pulled up with an injury.
According to Premium Sport, Messi felt ‘a slight hamstring strain’ and could be spared for the match in Manchester.
However, it would not be serious enough to rule him out of Argentina’s trip to Spain on Tuesday or the first leg of Barca’s Champions League quarter-final with Roma.
