Lionel Messi will miss out on an anticipated clash against one of Mexico’s biggest clubs.
The Inter Miami superstar won’t play in Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarterfinal match against Tigres UANL due to a “minor” muscle injury, according to ESPN.
Messi picked up the injury back on Aug. 2 against Necaxa in the tournament that features both MLS and Liga MX teams. Messi then sat out the following Leagues Cup game against Pumas, as well as an MLS match against Orlando City.
He returned to action on Saturday as a substitute against the LA Galaxy in MLS action, scoring and assisting in a 3-1 win.
