Inter Miami has confirmed that Lionel Messi is dealing with a left hamstring issue, sparking concern just a week before Argentina launches its training camp to prepare for this summer's World Cup title defence. The timing of the injury introduces a layer of uncertainty into the national team's immediate plans as the tournament approaches.

The football star underwent medical evaluations on Monday to assess the extent of the damage. While Inter Miami refrained from specifying the exact diagnostic procedures, they revealed that Messi was diagnosed with "an overload associated with muscle fatigue in his left hamstring." The club noted that the timeline for his rehabilitation and return to competitive action will remain entirely dependent on his clinical progress over the coming days.
