Messi's fitness test tomorrow, uncertainty about the play

When asked about the injury in the mixed zone, the Argentine superstar said, "What do I know (about the injury)?" Suffice it to say, it was a little uncomfortable but I managed to finish the game. Hope it's nothing serious. I didn't feel any pressure. Muscles were getting tight. Due to the discomfort, my normal movement became difficult at that moment. I will see tomorrow, how to continue the game.
TYC Sports, a reliable source of Argentine football, said in their news that he will have a scan on his adductor muscle tomorrow. He was suffering from leg muscle problems since the beginning of this season. He also missed several matches for Club Inter Miami.
