Lionel Messi exited Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on Saturday night after suffering an apparent hamstring injury in the opening minutes.

After the match that Inter Miami won in a penalty shootout, coach Javier Mascherano indicated that Messi would undergo testing on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury.

Messi was injured around the eighth minute when he fell while being challenged by a pair of defenders near the penalty area.

He fell to the ground and slammed his fist in frustration before walking toward midfield as play continued.
