Lionel Messi requested a substitution at the 73rd minute against Philadelphia Union due to discomfort in his left leg.

Inter Miami defeated Philadelphia Union 6-4 on Sunday. Messi left the field directly for the locker room after being replaced.

Coach Guillermo Hoyos explained the substitution was due to fatigue and field conditions. “It is fatigue. He was tired and the field was heavy,” he said.

Multiple reports confirmed no muscular injury occurred, only a loaded hamstring. The incident took place 17 days before Argentina's World Cup 2026 debut.
