The verdict: Messi overloaded, Inter Miami confirms left-thigh overuse injury

Lionel Messi has a left-thigh injury, his MLS club Inter Miami confirms. "His return to physical activity depends on his clinical and functional progress," the club said in a statement.

It was in the match against Philadelphia on Monday night that the Argentine left the field with an injury.

According to Miami, it is an overuse injury to the back of his left thigh. The club said Messi underwent a series of tests on Monday, but provided no details.

Messi, 38, will make his sixth World Cup - unless injury puts an end to it - starting on June 17 against Algeria.
