Lionel Messi exits Inter Miami's last game before World Cup

Lionel Messi exited Inter Miami's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Union on Sunday in the 73rd minute, replaced by Mateo Silvetti, due to muscular fatigue. Interim coach Guillermo Hoyos said the substitution was made to avoid risks ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Hoyos cautioned that the issue was not a serious injury, though no formal medical update was provided after the match.
