Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has been plagued by injuries since last year. He is not able to play properly due to thigh injury. He missed several matches for the American club Inter Miami. The same is the case with Argentina's sky-blue jersey. He missed a few matches in the last Copa America due to injury. After that, he returned to the semi-finals but got injured again in the final match. He has not yet recovered from that injury. It is still unclear when exactly he will return to the field. Yesterday, Messi's current club, Inter Miami, had a League Cup match. In this match, the World Cup-winning star enjoyed the team's game by sitting in the gallery. Lionel Messi is not playing for Inter Miami in their next match. Gerardo Martino, the coach of the Major League Soccer (MLS) team, said, "Argentina's World Cup-winning captain cannot play in the last sixteen matches of the Champions League Cup on Tuesday. In that match on Wednesday morning, Bangladesh time, Miami's opponent is the current MLS champion Columbus Crew.

Messi suffered a serious ankle injury in the Copa America final a month ago. The Argentina captain was forced to leave the field in the second half due to injury. However, playing the rest of the match without the captain, Argentina won the Copa America for a record 16th time after defeating Colombia 1-0. Since then, Lionel Messi is out of the field. The Argentine World Cup-winning star is yet to start training with his Inter Miami teammates.

Clubs from the US MLS and Mexico's Liga MX participate in the Leagues Cup. Messi won the League Cup with Inter Miami last year in the United States. The team that wins the Miami-Columbus match early this morning will advance to the quarter-finals. Last year, Messi scored 10 goals on the way to winning the Leagues Cup for Miami. The other best footballer of all time also won the player of the tournament award.

Last year, he joined the American club Inter Miami and was leading the team from the front. He became the lifeblood of the team. He gave Miami the taste of winning the trophy in the first season. The big challenge in front of Messi this season was to win the league title. But a recent spate of injuries raises questions about how well Messi can rise to the challenge. Even the League Cup can be settled with Messi injured.
