In the second round of the Group B of the League Cup Group, Miami International defeated Nagaza 7-6 in the penalty shootout, and Messi left the game with an injury in the opening 8 minutes.

After the game, Mascherano talked about Messi's injury, and he said: "Messi feels uncomfortable in the hamstrings, and we will know the severity of the injury tomorrow."

"He should have suffered some injuries, but it may not be that serious because he doesn't feel pain. He does feel uncomfortable, so he ended up."
