USA vs Argentina: Lionel Messi In, Zak Whitbread Out – International Friendly
Excitement is increasing ahead of the USA vs Argentina friendly match with the return of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi; but the Americans have sadly lost Whitbread, their promising defender.
The Norwich City player obtained his wound over the weekend, during his side’s 1-1 draw away to Hull City in the English Championship. Whitbread got his name on the scoring sheet for the first time for his club in that particular encounter, but an unfortunate injury sustained now rules him out of USA’s friendlies against Argentina and Paraguay on March 26 and March 29, respectively.He was nonetheless expected to make his very first appearance for his country at senior level; yet, reports suggest that he will only be fit for Norwich’s next game against Scunthorpe United on April 2. Meanwhile, Argentina’s Lionel Messi appears to have made a shockingly rapid recovery, which eventually enables him to lead the Albicelestes against the North Americans in East Rutherford, N.J.
