Messi Trains Solo in Kansas City as He Races to Be Fit for World Cup
Lionel Messi has begun individual sessions in Kansas City as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring issue ahead of Argentina’s World Cup opener. The 38-year-old Inter Miami captain hasn’t featured since May 24 due to muscle fatigue. He linked up with the squad but worked on a separate fitness programme alongside other players managing minor knocks. The Argentine Football Association reports that all sidelined players are making good progress with specific physiotherapy exercises. Meanwhile, Cristian Romero and Julián Álvarez have returned to full training. Argentina face Honduras in a friendly on Saturday and Iceland on June 9 before kicking off their title defence against Algeria on June 16.
