“It was very unlucky that I was unable to play in Hong Kong,” Messi said. “In the first match in Saudi Arabia I felt discomfort in my (hip) adductor. I tried to play some minutes in the second match to see how I would feel because I had an MRI, which found I had an edema in the adductor, but not an injury, so I tried to play. “Then we went to Hong Kong and had open training, so I went out because of the number of people who showed up (40,000) and because there was a clinic with children and I wanted to be there and participate. But honestly, the discomfort continued, and it was very difficult for me to play. It is lamentable that in futbol we can get injured at any time. It’s a shame because I always want to participate, especially when we traveled so far and the people were so excited to see us.informationguidenigeria
