Messi likely to miss Inter Miami`s match 

Superstar Lionel Messi is likely to miss Inter Miami's match vs. D.C. United with hamstring injury. 

Messi is dealing with a leg injury that will likely cause him to miss the team's next match.

Messi checked out of Wednesday's 3-1 win over Nashville 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 (in the game), but it was bothering him so we preferred to have him get out of the game."

Messi had a goal and an assist before leaving the game in the 50th minute.
