For the past eight years, like clockwork, Lionel Messi has featured in every Copa America game for Argentina.
The last time the iconic player had to sit out on the bench was against Chile in June 2016.
Now, Leo is set to miss the Sunday’s clash against Peru – the Albicelestes skipper reportedly suffers from muscle discomfort and needs some time for rest.
After all, age catches up with even the greatest of all, whether we like it or not.
In the meantime, the Argentina’s medical staff are working diligently to ensure the 37-year-old recovers swiftly for the quarterfinal stage.
