Messi Suffers Hamstring Fatigue Injury in Latest Injury Scare Ahead of World Cup

Posted : 26 May 2026

Lionel Messi has sparked fresh injury concerns ahead of the World Cup after Inter Miami confirmed he is dealing with muscle fatigue in his left hamstring.

The Argentine forward was forced off during Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday, leaving the pitch in the 73rd minute after appearing to signal discomfort in the back of his left leg. Although he walked off unaided, the club has now confirmed the issue following medical assessments.

Inter Miami described the condition as muscle overload linked to fatigue, but did not provide a clear timeline for his return. The club stated that his recovery will depend on how he responds to treatment and ongoing physical evaluation.

The setback comes at a sensitive time for the 38-year-old, who is expected to lead defending champions Argentina at the upcoming World Cup in North America, scheduled to begin on June 11. Argentina will open their campaign five days later against Algeria in Kansas City.

Messi has carefully managed his playing time since joining Inter Miami in 2023, often being rested during congested schedules to preserve fitness. The latest concern arrives just as international preparations intensify, with Argentina set to name their squad next week and begin pre-tournament friendlies in early June.

Although Messi has not officially confirmed his participation in what could be a record sixth World Cup appearance, he is widely expected to feature if fit.

The injury update adds uncertainty to Argentina’s build-up as they aim to defend their world title, with all attention now on the star’s recovery progress in the coming days.
