Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has admitted he is worried about missing this year's World Cup through injury.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, 35, recently confirmed the tournament in Qatar would be his last World Cup - and he's now admitted that after seeing Argentina's Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria suffer injuries, he fears he could be next.
Messi, who missed his PSG's last two games - including the Champions League tie against Benfica - because of a calf strain, told DirecTV Sports: "Injuries are a worry. This is a different World Cup which is played at a different time of the year to previous tournaments and it’s so imminent any little thing that happens to you can force you out.
