While Lionel Messi skips training, Karim Benzema faces a World Cup injury risk.

Two of the greatest talents at the 2022 World Cup might face a fitness competition in the coming days.

In preparation for their November 22 match against Saudi Arabia, Argentina trained at their camp at Qatar University without former Barcelona sensation Lionel Messi for a third day in a row.

He trains alone, according to reports from Marca, and the Argentina medical staff is managing his routine. He is anticipated to be healthy in time to captain La Albiceleste in their first group match.
