Lionel Messi left Inter Miami\'s Leagues Cup win over Club Necaxa in the 11th minute with a hamstring injury. Messi came into contact with Necaxa\'s Raul Sanchez and Alexis Peña when dribbling into the box, before stumbling to the ground.
Miami went on to win the match in penalties.
\"Leo felt a discomfort in his hamstring,\" Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. \"We won\'t know the extent of the injury until tomorrow. He probably has something wrong. It might not be that serious because he wasn\'t in pain, but he did feel discomfort.\"
Before kickoff Saturday night, Messi had featured in 30 games for Inter Miami in 2025 across all tournaments, including the Concacaf Champions Cup, the Club World Cup, Leagues Cup and the Major League Soccer regular season.
