Messi misses training due to injury

Argentine star Lionel Messi missed his team Inter Miami's training session on Wednesday due to fatigue in the muscles of the back of the left thigh. This forced the winner of the American football league to postpone its friendly match in Puerto Rico. Messi underwent further tests to determine the extent of the injury. Messi said in a team statement: 'Unfortunately, I felt some muscle strain in the last match.' The Argentine star and Inter Miami captain suffered the injury during a 2-2 draw with Barcelona in Guayaquil, Ecuador, last Saturday. The return date of the 2022 Qatar World Cup champion is still uncertain, with the club stating that his gradual return to training 'will depend on the improvement of his physical and functional condition in the coming days'.
