CONCACAF Cup,After the legendary Argentinean player was replaced in the 50th minute, coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino disclosed that Messi had been sidelined as a precaution due to a minor leg ailment that had begun to affect him throughout the match.
Martino added, “He’s got too much on his right posterior,” via a translator. “We wanted to have him quit the game because it was bothering him, even though we tried to see if he could advance further in it.”
The only game this season that Messi has missed is Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Montreal, when he rested.
According to Martino, Messi is probably going to miss the team’s Major League Soccer (MLS) game against DC United on Saturday.
“I wish not to take a chance,” Martino declared.
