Lionel Messi’s fitness remains in doubt ahead of Thursday’s Copa America quarter-final with Ecuador with coach Lionel Scaloni saying he will wait before deciding on his team. 

Messi missed Argentina’s final group stage match on Saturday, a 2-0 win over Peru, after complaining of a sore right hamstring. Argentina will hold a training session later on Wednesday and Scaloni said he would make any decision afterwards. “We’ll wait a couple of hours and make the decision. It is always better to have one more day,” he told a press conference.
