Lionel Scaloni spoke in a press conference this Friday in Texas about the condition of Lionel Messi and other injured players from the Argentine national team ahead of the friendly against Honduras.

Coach Lionel Scaloni confirmed that Lionel Messi has improved from his left hamstring discomfort. “Leo is doing well, trained with the group and is not totally differentiated. He might add some minutes in these friendlies,” Scaloni stated. Scaloni also detailed that Emiliano Martínez will not play the upcoming matches due to injury. Juan Musso will be the starting goalkeeper against Honduras and Gerónimo Rulli will take the spot versus Iceland. The Argentine coach mentioned that the situation of the players training separately is improving and that there could be changes to the squad list if any are not fit. “If we have to make the decision that someone stays out, we will do it with much pain,” he said.
