Inter Miami have announced captain Lionel Messi has a “low-grade” adductor injury after he was left out of Argentina’s squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The 37-year-old forward felt discomfort during his club’s 2-1 Major League Soccer win at Atlanta on Sunday.
Messi, who registered the equaliser in that game, was rested for three Miami matches before coming off the bench to score in last week’s Concacaf Champions Cup victory at Jamaican side Cavalier.
“Messi underwent an MRI (scan) this morning to assess the extent of the discomfort in his adductor region, which he experienced during last night’s match against Atlanta United,” read a club statement.
