Lionel Messi Struck by 'emotional fatigue', says Cesar Luis Menotti
The technical director Cesar Lui Menotti has cast a doubt on whether the Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, in red-hot form this season, would make his return during the international break despite head coach Lionel Scaloni's insistence he would win his 129th cap.
He said Lionel Messi is struck by "emotional fatigue" combining playing for Argentina and Barcelona since the World Cup.
Menotti said: "It scares me that Messi plays. I see him emotionally fatigued between the Champions League and the national team. I see him very tired. He has a lot of obligations and with a lot of emotional baggage, a lot of responsibilities at his feet."
