On August 11, 2025, Inter Miami provided the latest update on Lionel Messi’s condition following his recent injury during a Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on August 2, 2025. The Argentine star sustained a minor muscle injury in his right leg, exiting the game in the 11th minute after experiencing discomfort during a challenge. Medical tests confirmed the injury as minor, with no specific timeline for his return announced, though the club noted his recovery will depend on clinical progress and treatment response. Coach Javier Mascherano reported that Messi felt a pull but showed no significant pain, suggesting optimism about a swift recovery. The team secured a 2-2 draw followed by a 5-4 penalty shootout victory despite Messi’s early departure, with players like Luis Suárez and Rocco Ríos Novo stepping up. This injury marks the latest in a series of muscle issues for Messi, who has missed time previously, including the start of the 2024 season and parts of the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this year. Inter Miami’s next match is against Pumas on August 6, 2025, where Messi’s absence is confirmed, with potential return considered for the knockout stage starting August 19, 2025, if the team advances. The club’s medical staff continues to monitor his progress, with training updates indicating he is gradually rejoining group sessions. Messi’s impact remains evident, with 18 goals and 10 assists in 17 starts this season, maintaining his status as a key player.
