Can things get any worse for Maradona?
After a poor showing in the last few qualifying games, losing to a weak Bolivian side 6x1 and 2x0 to Equador and just squeaking by with a marginal victory over Colombia, Maradona is desperate to win back the confidence of the fans, and at the same time to instill confidence in the players. Losing Messi will not make things easier.
After yesterday’s training session Messi felt a “twinge” in his right leg. He was taken to the training room where he was examined by both Argentine and Barcelona doctors alike.
Messi will be undergoing a series of tests to determine the extent of the injury. Needless to say Maradona is extremely worried with more qualifying games just around the corner.
Taking Messi’s place in the line-up is Inter striker Diego Milito.
Argentina Confirmed Lineup... Mariano Andújar (Catania-Ita); Javier Zanetti (Inter-Ita), Nicolás Burdisso(Inter-Ita), Nicolás Otamendi (Vélez Sarsfield), Gabriel Heinze (Olympique Marseille-Fra); Maximiliano Rodríguez (Atlético Madrid-Esp), Javier Mascherano (Liverpool, Eng), Mario Bolatti (Huracán), Jonás Gutiérrez (Newcastle, Eng); Sergio Agüero (Atlético Madrid-Esp), Diego Milito (Inter-Ita)
