Reliable journalist provides updated information on Lionel Messi’s injury ahead of the match between Argentina and Peru, in the final match of Group A Copa America 2024.

Messi will ‘do everything possible’ to be available for the match at Hard Rock Stadium against Peru, according to TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edul.

Meanwhile, Messi’s entourage also said he was getting better and they believed that M10 would compete in the quarterfinals. In the opening two Copa America matches so far, the Inter Miami striker has not scored any goals. However, he assisted Lautaro Martinez’s goal in the 88th minute against Canada in the first match.
