Announcement
According to local media, last year’s World Cup champion in Qatar twisted his right ankle during a training session in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, earlier Monday.
“I did not see exactly what happened, but if it was serious, the players would have been shocked and because they were all fine, I think it was nothing important,” the coach explained on the eve of his team’s match against Philadelphia in the American and Mexican League Cup semi-finals.
The League Cup is a competition dedicated to the American (Major League Soccer) and Mexican (League MX) clubs.
The former Barcelona star has been shining since his move to Inter Miami from Paris Saint-Germain, where he spent two years, scoring against Charlotte in the quarter-finals of the competition, his eighth goal in five matches since his arrival in Florida on July 21.
Less than a month into his football career with Miami, Messi can help the club reach its first final by defeating Philadelphia Union, one of the strongest clubs in the MLS, on Tuesday.
