On the morning of August 2, Messi suffered a serious injury in Inter Miami's victory over Mexican club Necaxa at the Leagues Cup.
The incident happened in the 6th minute of the match. While trying to break through two opposing defenders near the penalty area, Messi seemed to be in pain. He collapsed on the ground and showed his frustration by banging his hand on the ground.
After being treated by medical staff for several minutes, the Argentine superstar was still unable to continue playing. He was replaced in the 11th minute by midfielder Federico Redondo and went straight down the tunnel.

However, just a few minutes after Messi left the field, Inter Miami opened the scoring thanks to Telasco Segovia, with an assist from new signing Rodrigo De Paul.
However, the match was extremely dramatic when Necaxa scored 2 goals to take the lead. It was thanks to Jordi Alba's equalizer header that Inter Miami was able to take the match to a penalty shootout with a score of 2-2 after 90 minutes.
On the 11m mark, Inter Miami showed more courage and won 5-4 in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout.

This is not the first time Messi has had problems with a hamstring injury. Most recently, he missed two of Argentina's World Cup qualifiers with an adductor injury.
The exact extent of Messi's injury will be determined in the coming days after detailed medical examinations.
The win keeps Inter Miami's hopes of advancing to the Leagues Cup, a tournament they won in 2023 shortly after Messi joined. However, the team faces the risk of missing their biggest star in the near future.
