Messi’s injury: How long will he be out of action?
Leagues Cup match at Chase Stadium. Opponent Necaxa. Only 11 minutes have passed. Lionel Messi suddenly collapsed on the field due to an injury. After that, the Argentine star of Inter Miami could not continue the game. He was forced to leave the field. The incident happened early this morning Bangladesh time. Miami won 5-4 in a tiebreaker after a 2-2 draw with Necaxa. This was Inter Miami’s second match in the Leagues Cup group stage. And in this match, they lost the most important player of the team. This year’s Leagues Cup will end with the final on August 31. However, whether Inter Miami can reach that final or not, there is a fear that Messi will not be available in the rest of the tournament. During the match, Messi was tackled by two Necaxa defenders while attacking. After that, he held his right hamstring with his hand. According to USA Today, this is likely to be an old hamstring injury that Messi has suffered before.
Messi’s injury: How long will he be out of action?
Inter Miami has not yet officially announced Messi’s injury. However, various US media outlets are saying that he may have to be out for a long time. Fox Sports reports that the only positive aspect is that Messi did not have to be carried on a stretcher, he walked back to the dressing room himself.
The Soccer Business report says that this injury will keep Messi out of the field for three to four weeks. If that is the case, then Messi will not be available for not only the Leagues Cup, but also several MLS matches in August. Miami’s last match in the Leagues Cup group stage is against Pumas Unam on August 6. Then Miami will return to MLS with a match against Orlando City on August 10. Their opponent on August 16 is the MLS champion LA Galaxy. The remaining two matches in August are against DC United and Chicago Fire.
