Argentina boss Edgardo Bauza was pleased with a win in his first match in charge but is concerned about the fitness of Lionel Messi.

The Barcelona star scored the only goal of the game on Thursday as a 10-man Argentina side edged out 1-0 win against Uruguay, following Paulo Dybala’s sending-off before the break.

Bauza revealed that Messi experienced some discomfort ahead of the Uruguay fixture but soldiered on and could now be sidelined for Tuesday’s game away to Venezuela.
