Lionel Messi sparked fresh World Cup fears after limping off during Inter Miami’s MLS clash with Philadelphia Union on Sunday.
The 38-year-old clutched the back of his left leg before asking to be substituted in the 73rd minute. Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos later played down concerns, insisting the move was precautionary due to fatigue and the heavy, rain-soaked pitch.
Argentina’s World Cup squad will be named next week.
