Sabella wants to test Argentina without Messi
Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said this Tuesday that if Lionel Messi fails to come back from his injury for the match with Colombia on June 7 in the South American qualifiers "it will be a good opportunity" to test the team without its star player.
"Hopefully we have Lionel, he will be welcomed. Otherwise, it is a way of seeing the team without him, but hopefully he is here", Sabella told reporters on arrival at Ezeiza International Airport after a tour of Europe.
The FC Barcelona striker will be sidelined two to three weeks due to a muscle injury in his right leg, said the club on Tuesday.
"Lionel is the best in the world, what team wouldn´t want a Messi? But (if he is not here) it is a way to see how to play without him", added the coach.
Sabella said the best player in the world "has little time left for the match against Colombia".
Argentina plays on June 7 against Colombia in Buenos Aires and on the 11th against Ecuador in Quito.
Messi, winner of the last four Balón de Oro awards, left the field Sunday in the 72nd minute with an injury. His team went on to beat Atlético Madrid 2-1.
Argentina leads the qualifiers with 24 points, followed by Ecuador (20), Colombia (19) and Chile (15).
The South American qualifiers award four berths to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and the fifth place team a playoff against the fifth place team from Asia.
