Lionel Messi exited Saturday night's Leagues Cup match against visiting Necaxa in the 11th minute due to a right leg injury. After Inter Miami completed its 2-2 draw, manager Javier Mascherano declared Messi felt "hamstring discomfort."

The 38-year-old Messi's exit brings a halt to an exceptional run of clean health, the longest since he joined Miami in July 2023.

Lionel Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, has been banned from all technical areas for the remainder of the 2025 Leagues Cup following a post-match incident after Inter Miami’s opening game against Club Atlas on July 30.

The controversy erupted at the final whistle when Cheuko was seen pushing and shoving members of the Atlas squad in an apparent effort to shield the Inter Miami players amidst a conflict between clubs.

The incident, widely circulated on social media, drew sharp criticism and led to disciplinary action from tournament organizers.

He's the truth, folks.
