Lionel Messi missed the start of Argentina's training session on Friday - just four days before their opening World Cup game against Saudi Arabia.
Messi, 35, is Argentina's captain and great hope heading into the tournament. The South American country hasn't won the World Cup since 1986 - when Diego Maradona led them to glory in Mexico - and many fans believe it's time for Messi to end their drought.
Yet the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner didn't start training with his international team-mates on Friday. Argentina have played down fears of an untimely injury by revealing Messi was completing a gym session to ensure he's ready for Tuesday's game in Lusail, Qatar.
