The head coach of Argentina discussed whether Messi will play in the Copa América semifinal

On the night of Wednesday, July 10th, Argentina will face Canada in the Copa América semifinal. However, it is uncertain if Argentina's star player, Lionel Messi, will be able to play in this game.

According to Argentina's head coach, Lionel Scaloni, the forward is 99% ready to play.

"He's 99 percent ready to play. I've never experienced a time when he wasn't ready to play. Every time he stepped onto the field, he was prepared. And tomorrow, he will be ready to play, no doubt. For me, it's a very easy decision because it's a very simple decision.

If he's ready, he plays; if not, he will come on for the last 30 minutes. It's that simple," said Scaloni.

He added that Messi can contribute a lot to the team, even if he is not in top condition.

The match between Argentina and Canada will take place on the night of Wednesday, July 10th, starting at 2:00 AM Central European Time.
