Absence from the match just a precaution
Post-injury, Barcelona released a statement that read,
“Lionel Messi did not have the return to international action that he would have wanted, and an injury picked up on Friday night means he will miss Argentina’s game against Morocco on Tuesday.”
It appears that the withdrawal from international playoffs was just a precaution to prevent further damage.
