    The Inter Miami superstar won't play in Wednesday's Leagues Cup quarterfinal match against Tigres UANL due to a "minor" muscle injury, according to ESPN.

    Messi picked up the injury back on Aug. 2 against Necaxa in the tournament that features both MLS and Liga MX teams. Messi then sat out the following Leagues Cup game against Pumas, as well as an MLS match against Orlando City

    He returned to action on Saturday as a substitute against the LA Galaxy in MLS action, scoring and assisting in a 3-1 win. Messi leads MLS with 19 goals scored. 

    Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano hinted that Messi's injury was still lingering. 

    "Leo didn't train with the group; he trained separately. It was a bit like the same situation I described the other day after the [Galaxy] game, when he felt uncomfortable during those 45 minutes he played," Mascherano said Tuesday. 

    The winner of Wednesday's game will move on to the Leagues Cup semifinals and will face the Toluca-Orlando City winner. The other side of the bracket features the Seattle Sounders vs. Puebla and the Galaxy vs. Pachuca.
