Countdown to World Cup 2022... Messi, Di Maria, and Dybala have all picked up injuries in recent weeks, and the tournament is just 40 days away. It's just a mind game, so there's nothing to worry about. They are being prepared for the World Cup. They can't let it slip away this time. Taking precautions is all they're doing. It won't be worth it to risk not playing at the World Cup. This is still something I keep an eye on. In reality, Messi does not have an injury, but he has muscle fatigue, so he is not taking risks at the World Cup.
