Lionel Messi Exits Inter Miami Match with Apparent Injury
BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AUG 3 – Messi left after eight minutes with a right hamstring injury from a challenge, marking another setback in his recent history of leg injuries, Inter Miami said.
- Lionel Messi left Inter Miami's Leagues Cup match against Liga MX's Necaxa on Saturday, August 2, 2025, after less than 10 minutes due to an upper-leg injury at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
- Messi's injury followed recent heavy playing time and recurring muscle issues including a left adductor injury earlier this year and missed time after the 2024 Copa América.
- After receiving treatment on the pitch, Messi was substituted in the 11th minute by Federico Redondo, removed his captain's armband, and walked directly to the locker room.
- Miami scored 1-0 a couple of minutes after Messi left, with Telasco Segovia netting the goal, while co-owner Jorge Mas stated, "Load management is on Lionel Messi."
- The injury presents a setback for Inter Miami's Leagues Cup campaign as coach Javier Mascherano is expected to update Messi's status soon ahead of upcoming matches.
