Taken off as a precaution during the match between Inter Miami and Philadelphia, Lionel Messi is no longer causing major concern just weeks before the start of the 2026 World Cup.
The latest news regarding Lionel Messi’s condition is rather reassuring. However, Argentina will still anxiously await his return. In a statement released overnight, Inter Miami confirmed that their captain is simply dealing with muscular overload.
Messi Expected Back for the World Cup
The American club explained that Messi felt physical discomfort on Sunday against the Philadelphia Union. Medical tests carried out on Monday revealed “overload related to muscular fatigue in the left hamstring.” His return will now depend on how his condition evolves over the coming days.
Although no official recovery timeline has been announced, the current expectation is that the Argentine superstar will be rested by Inter Miami in the coming weeks. A logical decision as the Albiceleste actively prepares for the World Cup.
At 38 years old, Messi is now expected to focus entirely on his recovery and on the Argentina national team, with the clear objective of arriving at the world’s biggest tournament in peak condition.
