Although after leaving him went against the 'azzurri' seemed to reign the optimism, this same Tuesday there was change of plans.

The '10' was not in Wanda Metropolitan to confront to the 'Red'. The press of the country left it clear, with an information of which did numerous echo means. There is not at all official, but the problems in the aductor isquiotibial of the right leg persist and anybody wanted to hear speak to risk.

Lionel Messi is not to 100%

Although Jorge Sampaoli and the own player had left to fall that it was to be headline, the perspectives gave a twist in the last hours, in which all have asked so much calm like caution. Claudio Wall, president of the Argentinian Federation of Football (AFA), has reflected it in an interview, explaining the reason of the drop.

"If he does not feel to 100%, does not be necessary to risk it. Have an aim in common that it is Russia. For what risk? It seems me that it is not necessary. If he is not well, is not convenient that play", resolved the leader during his intervention in 'TyC Sports'. 

The decision would have taken it the medical body of the 'albiceleste' after his last evaluation, with a measure subscribed by Leo Messi. To these heights of the season is usual that the efforts cause any overloads, but given the importance of all what plays has preferred to avoid greater evils.

The Barça has not vetoed the presence of Messi

What also has confirmed Wall is that the relations between Argentina and the FC Barcelona are perfect, and that there has not been veto of the Barcelona to the participation of the footballer, but confidence in the good management of the technicians and preparadores of the combined sudamericano.

"We do not receive any called of Barcelona. Yes we speak with Pepe Coast every day, but do not receive any called. The FC Barcelona knows that Argentina goes it to take care always. If he is not well, has the confidence to speak with the doctors and takes the decision that was convenient. We do not think in any moment in risking it", insisted.
