Although the Argentina captain mentioned that the injury was « nothing serious, » he did « find it difficult to move freely » toward the end of the match against Chile.
Argentina will face Peru in their third Copa America 2024 Group A match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Saturday. Argentina secured their place in the Copa America 2024 quarter-finals with an 88th-minute goal from Lautaro Martinez, clinching a 1-0 win over Chile.
La Albiceleste are virtually assured of winning Group A, so their key players, including Lionel Messi, will be rested for the match against Peru. Peru sits at the bottom of the table with just one point, having drawn their opening match against Chile and subsequently lost to Canada. They face the risk of a Copa America group stage exit for the first time since 1995.
