Lionel Messi’s injury scare has eased after Inter Miami confirmed that medical tests found no serious damage. The Argentine star was forced off during the 73rd minute of a Major League Soccer match against Philadelphia Union, which Miami won 6–4. The club’s medical team reported that Messi’s left hamstring showed signs of strain and muscle fatigue but no major injury. The announcement brought relief to Argentina’s camp as they prepare to defend their World Cup title.

Inter Miami stated that Messi’s return to play will depend on his recovery progress, without specifying a timeline. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano also shared that tests confirmed only minor discomfort. The news comes as Argentina prepares to announce its squad before the World Cup begins on June 11, with their first match scheduled against Algeria five days later.

The update reduces immediate concerns for both Inter Miami and Argentina, though Messi’s exact recovery period remains uncertain.
