Lionel Messi suffered an hamstring injury during Inter Miami's Leagues Cup penalty shootout win over Club Necaxa, leaving the field in the 11th minute and heading directly into the locker room at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Messi came into contact with Necaxa's Raúl Sánchez and Alexis Peña when dribbling into the box, before stumbling to the ground and slamming the pitch in frustration. The Inter Miami captain attempted to walk it off for a couple of minutes but ultimately sought medical attention and left the game.
Federico Redondo took Messi's place in the lineup.
