Lionel Messi set off alarms this Wednesday during Inter Miami's practice, ahead of the match against Porto for the second round of Group A of the Club World Cup.
The Argentine captain interrupted the warm-up by grabbing the back of his left leg, visibly uncomfortable. The situation caused immediate concern and prompted the quick intervention of Javier Mascherano, who spoke with the player for a few minutes.
Messi left a light exercise just as the training session began, precisely in an area where he already had a history of muscle discomfort. This new episode adds to other similar incidents suffered both with the American team and with the Argentina National Team, where, despite the pain, he was able to continue playing in most cases.
With the match against Porto getting closer, all eyes are on number 10's recovery. For now, it remains to be determined whether this is a minor overload or a more serious injury that could rule him out of the match. An official medical report is expected in the coming hours, or even during Thursday, to clarify the situation.
