Lionel Messi left the pitch during Inter Miami's thrilling 6-4 victory over Philadelphia Union due to a 'suspect injury,' raising concerns among Argentina fans as the World Cup approaches. The incident occurred in the 73rd minute, with Messi appearing to show discomfort in his left hamstring before being substituted. His exit was notable as he walked directly to the tunnel without medical personnel, which is unusual for the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner. Despite the injury scare, Messi had a strong performance, assisting two goals. The Inter Miami staff will evaluate his condition as Argentina prepares for its World Cup opener against Algeria on June 16. Messi has previously indicated he will only play if fully fit, adding to the significance of this injury. The match itself set a new MLS record with eight first-half goals, showcasing an intense competition.
