Messi to miss World Cup final rematch
Argentina forward Lionel Messi
Madrid - Arab Today
Argentina captain Lionel Messi will miss his side's friendly against world champions Germany on Wednesday due to a groin strain, his club side Barcelona confirmed on Monday.
The match offers Argentina an immediate chance for revenge for their agonising 1-0 extra-time defeat to Germany in the World Cup final last month.
Messi suffered the injury in Barca's 1-0 win away to Villarreal on Sunday and will also miss a charity match in Rome on Monday.
"Leo Messi will remain in Barcelona as a precaution due to a strain in his right adductor," Barca said in a statement on their website.
"Barca's number 10 will miss the match for peace in Rome this evening and will also not be able to participate in the match between Germany and Argentina."

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
