Expected to miss at least two games
It has been confirmed that Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), who was injured and shed tears in the final of the ‘2024 South American Football Championship (Copa America)’, has injured the ligaments in his right foot.
Messi’s team, Inter Miami of Major League Soccer (MLS), announced Messi’s injury status through the club’s official channel on the 17th (Korean time).
According to the club, Messi has been confirmed to have injured the ligaments of his right ankle.
Inter Miami explained, “Messi’s availability to play will be determined based on periodic evaluations and the progress of his recovery.”
Messi was substituted for Nicolas Gonzalez in the 21st minute of the second half of the Copa America final against Colombia held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, USA on the 15th.
Messi, who complained of pain once during the breakthrough in the first half, ended up leaving the game early due to an injury.
Messi shed tears on the bench, perhaps due to the regret of having to end what could have been his last Copa America match early due to injury.
After winning the championship with a winning goal by Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan) in the 7th minute of the second half of extra time, he regained his smile, but it seems that he will not be able to play in the game right away.
Meanwhile, sports media outlet ESPN quoted Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino as predicting that he will miss at least two games.
Inter Miami will face Toronto at home on the 18th at 8:30 a.m., before playing a home game against Chicago on the 21st at 8:30 a.m.
