Leo had a problem in the last game and he won't be in this game. We are going to see how it is day by day to await his evolution," confirmed Argentina assistant Walter Samuel.
"I felt some discomfort in my right hamstring at the beginning of the game. It was tight. It wasn't as loose as it should've been. But I was able to finish the game. We'll see how it goes," Messi said in a mixed-zone interview after the match.
"In the first play, my adductor got hard. I didn't feel a puncture or a tear, but I did find it difficult to move freely."
Argentina manager Scaloni will also miss the game against Peru, after being suspended by CONMEBOL for a delayed return to the pitch after halftime.
