Argentine star Lionel Messi raised the alarm among the fans of his American team Inter Miami just hours before an important match in the Football League Cup.
Inter Miami are gearing up to face Philadelphia early Wednesday morning in the semi-finals of the League Cup, a tournament between the elite clubs in the American and Mexican leagues.
And a video clip from Inter Miami’s training session circulated on social media, which captures the moment when Messi’s left foot hit the ground while trying to play the ball, and after that he seemed to feel pain.

According to press reports, Inter Miami will miss the services of their Argentine star in the upcoming match due to a sprained ankle.
Argentine coach Tata Martino, coach of Inter Miami, said in comments published by the English newspaper The Sun in response to his question about Messi’s injury: “I didn’t see what exactly happened.”
“But I think that if it was something serious, they would all be in shock, and since they were all fine, I think nothing happened,” he explained.
