Inter Miami provide update on Lionel Messi after suffering hamstring injury against Necaxa
Lionel Messi picked up a hamstring injury during Inter Miami's Leagues Cup penalty shootout win over Club Necaxa. The MLS club has provided an update, saying Messi underwent medical tests to evaluate the extent of the injury. The results confirmed a minor muscle injury in the forward's right leg. The club did not provide a timeline for the 38-year-old's return, but he is expected to miss Miami's next Leagues Cup match against UNAM Pumas on Wednesday. Messi fell to the ground after coming into contact with Necaxa's Raul Sanchez and Alexis Pena early in the game. The Argentine sought medical attention but was forced to leave after 11 minutes, with Federico Redondo subbed on as his replacement. Messi's injury will likely be a big blow for Miami, who are aiming to reach the second round of the Leagues Cup with a positive result against Pumas. The former Barcelona star has been a key player for the Herons this season, scoring 24 goals and providing 10 assists in 31 appearances across all competitions. Miami relied heavily on Messi at the recent FIFA Club World Cup, where he played over 90 minutes in all four matches of the competition. The World Cup winner led his team to Leagues Cup success in 2023, scoring in normal time and converting his penalty in the final against Nashville SC. Stats from Transfermarkt

With reserves, Palmeiras show grit to snatch a draw against Vitória
At Barradão, Palmeiras drew 2-2 with Vitória this Sunday (3), in the 18th round of the Brasileirão 2025. Focused on the Copa do Brasil, since they lost to Corinthians in the first leg of the round of 16 by 1-0, coach Abel Ferreira fielded a completely reserve team. In this context, Leão da Barra dominated much of the match, even though Lucas Arcanjo made a great save from Marcos Rocha's shot. It was with Renato Kayzer, taking advantage of Ronald's assist, that Vitória opened the scoring in the first half. The situation for the green-and-white team became more difficult after the break, when Erick dribbled past Piquerez at the edge of the penalty area and finished in the top corner with a stunning goal. With a significant disadvantage on the scoreboard, Abel Ferreira brought on starters, and Palmeiras began to pose a threat. Piquerez reduced the deficit with a penalty, and Flaco López secured the draw in the final minutes. Palmeiras still sought the comeback until the end, but the score was not altered further.🚦 Standings With the result, Palmeiras reached 33 points and remained in third place, four points behind leaders Flamengo and Cruzeiro (37 points). Meanwhile, Vitória stayed in 15th place, now with 18 points. Verdão returns to the field on Wednesday (6), when they host Corinthians at Allianz Parque for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In the Brasileirão, Palmeiras will face Ceará next Sunday (10), again at home, for the last round of the first half. Leão da Barra visits São Paulo at MorumBIS on Saturday (9).

Flamengo take the lead but sit back late on, held to a draw by Ceará
At the Arena Castelão, Flamengo and Ceará drew 1-1, on Sunday (3), in the 18th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. In the first half, the Rubro-Negro was dominant, having 75% of ball possession, although they didn't pose much danger to the opposing goalkeeper. Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique, and Samuel Lino, in fact, had good chances to score. However, the advantage on the scoreboard was achieved in a great collective play, with Léo Ortiz giving the pass in the area from above, Gonzalo Plata giving the headed assist, and Arrascaeta (36') scoring with a first-time shot. This was the 14th goal of the Uruguayan star with the Rubro-Negro shirt, in 36 games in the season. And a detail: since the elimination in the Club World Cup, on June 29, Flamengo had not scored a goal in the first half. On that occasion, however, the result was 4-2 for Bayern Munich. After the interval, Ceará left aside the strategy of playing closed and seeking the counter-attack and went after the visitors. Lucas Mugni, who entered the field after the break, hit the post (10') and took the corner kick that Pedro Raul (21') headed in, rising higher than the defenders to equalize. The center-forward, who scored his 13th goal of the year, counted on the strange exit of goalkeeper Rossi.🚦 How it stands The draw was enough for Flamengo to reach 37 points and retake the lead, which had been with Cruzeiro (37 points) for a few hours, after a win over Botafogo. With one game less than Raposa, the cariocas are ahead due to a better goal difference (24 x 19). Ceará, in turn, reached 22 points and stayed in tenth place. Rubro-Negro returns to the field next Wednesday (6), when they visit Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV, for the return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In the first leg, Galo won 1-0. In the Brasileirão, Flamengo hosts Mirassol, at Maracanã, on Saturday (9), to close the first round. Vozão visits Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, on Sunday (10).
