Inter Miami confirmed Sunday that Lionel Messi sustained a minor muscle injury in their Leagues Cup match against Necaxa over the weekend.

The Herons have been reliant on their Argentine No. 10, and he pushed them to the last 16 of the Club World Cup, taking down Porto in the process. With Segovia and Tadeo Allende, there are other players who can step up to assist Luis Suarez in the attack, but Mascherano will need to determine the best setup if their star misses any time.

Lionel Messi's injury during the Inter Miami vs Club Necaxa match in the Leagues Cup has many fans concerned. The Argentine player was down within ten minutes after attempting to dribble towards the opponent's penalty box.
