MESSI is fine after getting a knock in training

You could imagine Diego sweating and with him, an entire nation and the many from other countries (like 99.9% of Mundo's readers!).

Lionel MESSI picked up the ball, ran for a few metres, stopped and as he attempted a shot, he collided with Javier MASCHERANO and needed treatment from Dr. Donato VILLANI.

He had to leave that training match, but the news coming from the Ezeiza training camp are encouraging. It was only a knock in his right knee. Something that won't keep him from working with the team and wouldn't rule him out of the Canada frienly on Monday.

Here's some footage of a pitch side banner with the important stuff happening behind
