Lionel Messi touched down in California on Friday as Argentina prepared for the possibility that the injured Barcelona superstar may not be fit for next week’s Copa America Centenario showdown with Chile.
Messi arrived in the early hours from Barcelona, where on Thursday he had appeared in court to give evidence in his tax fraud trial which has also embroiled his father.
Messi, who suffered a back injury in a friendly victory against Honduras last week, is uncertain to be fit for Monday’s crucial Group ‘D’ game against Chile at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
Meanwhile teammates Augusto Fernandez and Nahuel Guzman admitted on Friday that Argentina were facing up to the possibility of Messi’s absence against the Chileans.
