Lionel Messi got injured during an MLS match between Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union and had to be substituted in the 73rd minute. The Argentine footballer suffered a left thigh injury, which the club said was caused by overload and muscle fatigue. The injury occurred just three weeks before the start of the World Cup, raising concerns about the participation of Argentina's captain in the tournament. idnes.cz ↗ Tagesspiegel ↗
According to medical examinations, this is a case of purely muscular overload without any more serious injury. The diagnosis turned out favorably for the national team, which was able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, it remained unclear whether Messi would be able to join the Argentine national team's preparation, which was set to begin a week after the injury. eurofotbal.cz ↗ sport.cz - hokej ↗

Although it was a dramatic match rich in goals for both teams, attention was focused on Messi's condition and the possible consequences for his participation in the World Championship. sport.sk ↗ sport.cz - hokej ↗
