Injured? The image of Lionel Messi in Inter Miami training that worries his fans

Lionel Messi continues training with Inter Miami and that will be until he travels to Argentina to join the national team for the matches against Uruguay and Brazil for the South American Qualifiers on the way to the 2026 World Cup. Now, after practice on Monday, he appeared an image that worries Lionel Scaloni and all the Albiceleste fans a few days before the decisive matches that lie ahead.

As could be seen on social networks, La Pulga received a visit from Racing manager Roby Martínez at the Inter stadium and both posed smiling in a photo that stood out for a mate that contained the Academy shield. However, at the bottom of the photograph you can see Messi with his right ankle completely covered in ice with some stains that appear to be blood.

The alarms quickly went off about a possible injury to the '10' in that area, although it could all be a blow. And the captain was seen smiling and, if he wanted to hide it, he would have done so. Now we will have to wait for a statement from Inter Miami or, in the worst case, wait for Gerardo Martino's determination to use him or not in the friendly they will play this Friday against New York City to rule out a possible injury to his ankle. Precisely that match was announced in the last few hours and will serve not only to say goodbye to the year, but also to honor Leo for winning his eighth Ballon d'Or.

Inter Miami does not usually communicate Messi's injuries

If anything was clear, it is that the pink franchise seeks to make the most of Lionel's presence in its squad. Those from Florida know that they have the biggest attraction in the league in their ranks and that translates into important financial income that disappears if Messi is not on the field. For this reason, communication is not clear when the '10' has a problem, since if an estimated time of absence is confirmed, fans would not attend the stadium until it recovers.
