Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella on Tuesday (May 14) said he hopes Argentina captain Lionel Messi will recover from a lingering hamstring injury ahead of the side's upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Argentina, who lead the South American qualification with 24 points from 11 matches, will face Colombia on June 7 at home before heading to Ecuador four days later for qualifiers. Ecuador are currently second with 20 points and Colombia third with 19, though both have played one game fewer.
