Lionel Messi's recent substitution during Inter Miami's match against the Philadelphia Union has sparked significant concern among fans of both the club and the Argentina national football team. The 38-year-old forward exited the game in the 73rd minute after appearing to touch his left leg, a rare sight as he had completed all 90 minutes in his previous 13 MLS matches this season. Following his signal for a substitution, Messi walked directly to the locker room rather than remaining near the touchline, raising further alarm about the severity of his condition. With the World Cup approaching, this injury could not come at a worse time for Argentina, as Messi is expected to lead the team in what many believe might be his final World Cup appearance. The team has scheduled friendlies against Honduras and Iceland before their tournament opener against Algeria on June 16. Despite the injury concerns, Messi had a notable impact on the match, assisting in a dramatic 6-4 victory for Inter Miami, the highest-scoring game of the MLS season.
