After alarm bells in Inter Miami called when Lionel Messi was forced to leave the field, just a few minutes in the match against Necaxa, the club gave an important update on Sunday about the injury of the Argentinian captain – and the news was not as bad as initially feared.
A statement published on the official website of the Fort Lauderdale Club: “Inter Miami CF today gave an injury update presented by Baptist Health for Inter Miami CF Captain Leo Messi.
Messi underwent medical tests to evaluate the size of muscle development that he experienced during the competition cup match last night against Necaxa, which forced him to leave the field.
The results confirmed a small muscle injury in his right leg. His medical approval depends on his clinical progress and response to the treatment. “
Based on this update, it is clear that the Argentinian star is expected to miss the coming match against Pumas Unam on MatchDay 3 of the MLS Liga MX competition.
He will also have to approach his return with caution to prevent the injury from worsening. It is worth noting that Inter Miami will organize the city of Orlando next Sunday – a crucial competition for Las Garzas while they want to hold fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
