Miami Reveals The Nature Of Messi's Injury
Inter Miami revealed the nature of the injury suffered by Argentine star Lionel Messi, with his country's national team, during the match against Colombia, in the final of the 2024 Copa America, which was held in the United States of America. The Argentine national team won the Copa America title for the sixteenth time in its history, after defeating its Colombian counterpart, with a clean goal, in the match that witnessed Messi's injury, and his inability to complete the match. The American club's statement said: "After medical evaluation, it was found that Leo Messi suffers from an injury to the ligaments of his right ankle. The captain's readiness will be determined through periodic evaluations and the progress of his recovery." Inter Miami coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino said earlier on Tuesday, before the test results, that Messi is expected to miss at least two matches. Martino told reporters: "He suffered a sprained ankle and the injury is there, so there is a need for tests and we have to wait for the results." "I have had the opportunity to see other images. Tests will be carried out to determine the severity of the situation. We are always informed by our kinesiologist Walter Insuraldi, who is also the kinesiologist on the team. He is very careful in giving the final diagnosis before the results come in."
