Injury Update

Inter Miami announced a medical update on captain Lionel Messi, stating he will miss training today after an injury sustained in the match against Barcelona Ecuador in Ecuador.

The club added in a formal statement on its website that Messi underwent further medical checks in recent hours to determine the nature of the issue and when he might return, depending on his physical progress.

The update confirms a left hamstring strain, which prevented him from taking part in the team's training session.

Officials said his return to training will be gradual and will depend on clinical and functional status in the days ahead, with no official date set.

The news keeps fans hopeful that the Latin magic will return soon on the field.

Sniper punchline 1: If timing is everything, Messi’s injury schedule clearly has its own world tour—delayed but still headline-worthy.

Sniper punchline 2: Don’t worry, the calendar will adjust; after all, Messi plays by his own schedule—one that makes defenders blink and coaches beg for a time machine.
