Lionel Messi is dealing with hamstring discomfort suffered in Wednesday's win vs. Nashville that could sideline him for Saturday's road game in Washington.
just a few minutes into the second half, and coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said the 36-year-old was experiencing discomfort in his right hamstring area. He was removed from the game as a precaution.
“He is overloaded in the right posterior,” Martino said through a translator. “We don't want to run a risk. We tried to see if he could go further along , but it was bothering him so we preferred to have him get out of the game.”Sign up for NBC LA newsletters. Inter Miami advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals with the win and 5-3 advantage in aggregate goals in the total-goals series.
Martino said Messi will likely be rested for Inter Miami's MLS match against D.C. United on Saturday as further precaution.He was injured late in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 at Nashville last Thursday. Messi went down late in regulation of that game when Nashville defender Lukas MacNaughton stepped on his calf. A trainer checked on Messi, who writhed in pain on the pitch, but he remained in the game.
Inter Miami is currently amid a busy March that includes seven matches — four of which have come in a 10-day span. Messi is expected to join the Argentinian national team in a pair of Copa America warm-up matches on March 22 and 26.
