Lionel Messi was taken off during the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia. Inter Miami is now giving a report on his injury.
When Messi hurt his right ankle during the 66th minute of Sunday’s game at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, Nicolas Gonzalez came on to replace him. Messi was clearly upset.
As cameras showed him on the bench with a badly swollen ankle, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner broke down in tears. He went on to win his second straight Copa America title thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s extra-time victory.
Gerardo Martino, the boss of Inter Miami, said earlier this week that Messi would probably miss at least two games.
“The injury is still there because he twisted his ankle,” Martino told reporters. “We are waiting for the results.” “I’ve had the chance to see other pictures.” There will be tests to find out how bad the situation is.
“Walter Insaurralde, our kinesiologist, keeps us up to date. He is also the kinesiologist for the national team.” He is very careful about making a final judgment before the test results come in.
Unfortunately, the Argentine forward may not be able to play for a long time because tests showed that he hurt a muscle.
For more information, read this message from Inter Miami: “Inter Miami CF has given a medical report offered by Baptist Health for captain Leo Messi.”
“Leo Messi has hurt a ligament in his right ankle, according to a medical exam.” According to regular checks and the captain’s healing process, he will be available when needed.
When Martino’s team plays Toronto FC and Chicago Fire this week, they will be in second place in the Eastern Conference standings. This loss will be a huge blow to them.
