Lionel Messi is facing a potential absence from the upcoming matches for Inter Miami CF due to a right ankle injury sustained during the Copa América final. Miami coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino disclosed that Messi is likely to miss at least the next two games as a result of the injury. Further assessments will be conducted to ascertain the extent of the injury, with Martino refraining from speculating on the duration of Messi's absence.
The injury occurred when Messi twisted his ankle during the final match. Martino emphasized the need for comprehensive tests to evaluate the severity of the situation before providing a definitive prognosis. The team's kinesiologist, Walter Insaurralde, who also serves as the national team's kinesiologist, is closely monitoring Messi's condition and will await the test results.
