Argentina prodigy Messi with foot pain

Herzogenaurach, Germany - Teen-age Argentina striker Lionel Messi is complaining about pains in his left foot before his team's Group C game with Serbia and Montenegro, a team spokesman said Wednesday. Messi, 18, who plays for European champions Barcelona, is among the most-anticipated players at this World Cup. But he is recovering from an injured right hamstring and Argentina coach Jose Pekerman rested him for the opener against Ivory Coast, defying pressure from Argentine fans and media. The reason for Messi's latest pain is unclear, but the problem does not appear to be serious, the Argentina team spokesman said. Argentina faces Serbia and Montenegro on Friday. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
