Lionel Messi will sit out Argentina's final group stage match against Peru at the 2024 Copa América due to a hamstring injury. The 37-year-old star suffered the injury during Tuesday's match against Chile and underwent treatment on the sideline. Despite finishing the game, Messi reported discomfort in his right hamstring and adductor tightness. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni plans to make several changes to the starting lineup, giving younger players an opportunity to play. Messi's absence comes as a precautionary measure to ensure his fitness for the tournament's later stages.
