Inter Miami announced that Lionel Messi is dealing with a minor muscle injury in his right leg, sustained during a Leagues Cup match against Necaxa. The injury occurred just 11 minutes into the game, leading to his early substitution. While there is no set return date, the team confirmed it is not serious and depends on his recovery progress. Despite Messi’s absence, Miami demonstrated resilience, coming back to draw 2-2 and winning 5-4 in penalties. Currently second in the MLS standings, Miami will rely on other stars as they continue their campaign, and Messi’s potential comeback will be crucial for their playoff hopes.
