Lionel Messi Injured in Inter Miami's Draw
Twisting Ankle Concerns
Lionel Messi, the legendary Argentine footballer, suffered an injury to his left leg during Inter Miami's 2-2 draw against Nashville SC on Wednesday. The incident occurred when Messi was kicked in the calf area, causing his left ankle to twist unnaturally. The injury forced him to be substituted off in the 50th minute.
Hamstring Issue
In addition to the calf injury, Messi is also battling a right hamstring issue that is likely to keep him out of Inter Miami's upcoming road game against DC United on Saturday. Head coach Tata Martino confirmed that Messi's hamstring was overloaded during the Nashville match, contributing to his early exit.
Painful Challenge
The calf injury stemmed from a tackle by a Nashville defender. Messi was attempting to control the ball when he was caught on the leg, sending him to the ground in pain. The incident raised concerns about the severity of Messi's injury, as he was clearly struggling to put weight on his left leg.
Impressive Performance
Despite the injury, Messi managed to make a significant impact on the game before he was forced off. He scored a goal and provided an assist in Inter Miami's 3-1 victory over Nashville in the second leg of the MLS Cup Playoffs.
