'Tired' Messi exits MLS game in wound scare ahead of World Cup
Lionel Messi was at the centre of an wound scare just weeks before the initiate of the World Cup on Sunday after abruptly exiting Inter Miami’s Major League Soccer clash against the Philadelphia Union.
Argentina superstar Messi was substituted in the 73rd minute at a shower-soaked Nu Stadium in Miami after clutching the back of his left leg and requesting to come off.
The 38-year-former icon appeared to be walking normally as he headed straight down the tunnel after exiting the game, which Miami went on to prevail 6-4.
Inter Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos said after the game it was too initial to identify if Messi was injured, and suggested the Argentine’s substitution was precautionary due to the pitch conditions.
"As far as I know, we don’t have a (medical) summary on that yet, still we will have one shortly," Hoyos said after the game when asked for details of Messi’s condition.
