Did the seven-time world footballer suffer a more serious injury?
Lionel Messi (36) was substituted in the 37th minute of Inter Miami’s MLS game against Toronto FC on Thursday due to an injury. His teammates won 4-0 even without the Argentine. But a video of Messi after being substituted due to injury has his fans worried.
On the bench, Messi was seen throwing his head back in his seat, seemingly frustrated about something – and this behavior has fans worried about the possible extent of the injury.

Miami teammate Jordi Alba (34) also had to leave the field due to injury; he was substituted two minutes before Messi. The defender was visibly limping. Both players will miss Sunday’s league game against Orlando.
It was the first time Messi played after he asked to be substituted after a late free kick in the 89th minute of Argentina’s 1-0 win over Ecuador. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni confirmed that the world champion “felt something” after the game.

Miami coach Gerardo Martino said after the league game: “They trained normally and we felt they were ready to play. I don’t think it’s anything new or anything worse than what they had. It’s fatigue,” Martino said. Because of this, both players had already taken a break in the 2:5 defeat in Atlanta.
“I don’t think it’s a muscle injury. They have no chance of playing the game in Orlando, but I don’t think it’s anything serious or muscle injuries. We have to take it day by day, look at the doctors’ report, what they tell us, and then we will decide,” said coach Martino, giving some hope for a place in the cup.
