Buenos Aires, May 27 -- Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni played down concerns over Lionel Messi's injury ahead of the FIFA World Cup starting next month.

Messi was diagnosed with muscle fatigue after leaving the pitch in Inter Miami's 6-4 MLS win over Philadelphia union on Sunday.

The Florida club said the 38-year-old's recovery period would depend on his "clinical and functional progress".

"We have to wait for his recovery," Scaloni said in an interview broadcast by DSports.
