Argentina overcame Uruguay 1-0 last night in Mendoza with a deflected Lionel Messi goal giving the home side maximum points.
The Barça No. 10 finished the game in discomfort and is a major doubt ahead of Tuesday's next WC 2018 qualifier as Argentina head to Merida to face Venezuela.
The new Argentina head coach Edgardo Bauza alluded to a possible absence for the striker.
