Argentina will play against Peru without Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni.

"Messi had a problem in the last match against Chile, and he will not play in the match against Peru. We will check his injury every day," Argentina's coach Walter Samuel said at a press conference on Wednesday (Korea time).

Messi started the second match against Peru in the 2024 Copa America group league on Tuesday. He played full-time with Argentina's 1-0 victory. However, he reportedly endured pain in his hamstring from the beginning of the game.

"I felt a little uncomfortable with my right hamstring early in the game. It felt like pulling. But I finished the game and I will keep an eye on the situation," Messi said after the match. "My hamstring was uncomfortable on the first play. It was not a broken injury, but it was difficult to move freely."

Argentina has already confirmed its advance to the quarterfinals with two consecutive wins. There is no reason for Messi to overdo it.

Argentina's coach, Scaloni, cannot sit on the bench against Peru. He was given disciplinary action by the CONMEBOL. 여우알바

Argentina did not stand on the ground on time after halftime in both the first and second games against Canada and Chile. In the end, the second half of the match against Canada and Chile started a little late. The South American Football Confederation stressed that if a player appears on the field after the start or restart of a match, a warning will be given at first, and a punishment will be given for the second violation.

Argentina also has to pay a fine of $15,000 (about 20.73 million won).
