  • Lionel Scaloni says the captain was training normally
  • The coach is certain Leo is fit to play in the upcoming 2 international fixtures.

“Messi trained normally. He had been dragging some discomfort in his ankle, but he would be able to play both games without problems,” Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni told TNT Sports.

Leo didn’t start against Real Betis last Saturday, scoring 2 goals after coming off the bench in the second half.
