Santa Clara (US): Argentina coach Gerardo Martino said no decision has been taken on Lionel Messi's fitness for his team's Copa America Centenario opener against Chile.

"We're going to wait for the training in the afternoon, only then will we determine his situation," Martino said.


"The first thing that we do is listen to the doctor, who is the most important voice in this matter," Martino said.

"After that we need to hear Leo, he's the second most important voice. I will give him my point of view when it comes to it. "But the most important question is to do with pain and discomfort, and only the soccer player knows in that regard."
