Inter Miami superstar, Lionel Messi, has damaged his ligament and will be out for some time.

He injured his right ankle during the 2024 Copa America final.

Miami coach, Gerardo “Tata” Martino announced the development on Tuesday.

After further testing, the MLS club announced that Messi “has suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle.”

The statement added that Messi’s “availability will be determined by periodic assessments and the progress of his recovery.”

Inter Miami will take on Toronto FC on Wednesday night and Chicago Fire on Saturday night.

They will then begin the defence of their Leagues Cup title July 27 at Puebla.
