In an incredible MLS clash, Inter Miami defeated Philadelphia, but Lionel Messi was forced to leave the pitch with an injury concern. It has now emerged just how serious the issue is.
Details: According to Gastón Edul, the Argentine requested to be substituted as a precautionary measure after feeling discomfort in his hamstring. No muscle injury has been detected at this stage. Messi did not want to place any further strain on the area and was unwilling to take unnecessary risks.
It was Lionel Messi’s final match before the 2026 World Cup, with the tournament set to get underway very soon, on June 11.
The clash against Philadelphia proved to be a thrilling and emotional goal-fest. Inter Miami emerged victorious in a stunning 6–4 win.
It is worth recalling: Recently, Inter Miami defeated Portland 2-0 in an MLS regular-season match, but the mood among the home fans was far from positive, as supporters staged a protest against the club.
