Argentina’s Copa America preparations were seriously disrupted last night, as star man Leo Messi was forced off injured from their warm-up game against Honduras.The Barcelona man landed awkwardly and collided with a Honduras player, and immediately felt pain in his rib.He was taken off, and looked in considerable pain as he left the pitch.
It’s unknown as yet whether he’ll miss any of the Copa America; Ole report that a full diagnosis will be ready in 48 hours time.
Complicating matters, Messi is due to fly back to Spain tomorrow for a court hearing relating to his tax evasion case, and a long haul flight could exacerbate his injury.
