Due to fatigue at the end of the match, defender Facundo Medina had to be taken off the field. Coach Lionel Scaloni said it was not a serious injury; he was substituted due to a muscle cramp.
Midfielder Enzo Fernandez also suffered from cramps throughout the match. As substitution opportunities were exhausted, he had to play the entire match. He is currently healthy but physically quite tired.
Substitute Nicolas Gonzalez sprained his left ankle but finished the match. However, the medical team is monitoring his condition.
On the other hand, captain Lionel Messi and Alexis Mac Allister played the entire match including extra time without any injuries. They are under the supervision of the medical team for quick recovery.
Meanwhile, the team's scheduled practice was canceled due to adverse weather in Miami. Instead of the field, the players trained in the hotel gym. The coaching staff's main goal now is to quickly get the players match-fit.
Scaloni also expressed dissatisfaction with the match schedule. He said that although there was a six-day break after the group stage, only three and a half days were available before the knockout round, which is not enough for player recovery.
