Lionel Messi plans to travel to Madrid to undergo a treatment on his left knee, which suffered a severe blow a few months ago in the Argentine team’s game against Venezuela for the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. As a consequence of this discomfort, The Argentine star suffered in the last two games for Paris Saint Germain, last weekend against Lille for the French League and this Wednesday against Leipzig for the Champions League.
To recover from the discomfort, Messi plans to return to the Cemtro Clinic in Madrid, specializing in traumatology. “This is the place where he already went in 2015 when he suffered a ruptured left collateral ligament when he played for Barcelona, ​​and the recovery was optimal,” said the Spanish newspaper Sports world.
The Argentine star of Paris Saint Germain suffers “some muscular discomfort” that forced him to leave the game against Lille for the French League, last Friday, and that also prevented him from being called up to play for the Champions League against Leipzig of Germany . “This absence of Messi is also explained by a knee injury that has haunted him for two months, when on September 2, in the Venezuela-Argentina match, qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, he received a very harsh entry from Luis Adrián MartÃnez to the height of the left knee “, recalled the Catalan newspaper.
In that match, played in Venezuela, Messi was able to continue playing but over the weeks “he continues to drag the consequences” of that disqualifying blow that the Venezuelan defender gave him, who was expelled by the referee of the match that won 3 to 1 on team led by Lionel Scaloni. It will be necessary to see his evolution to know if the star will be able to be in the double date of the November Qualifiers, when Argentina visits Uruguay and receives Brazil in San Juan, especially from the criticism made by the PSG sports director, the Brazilian Leonardo, who assured that the Argentine star was more at the disposal of the National Team than of his club.
