Lionel Messi won't join Argentina for matches vs. Uruguay, Brazil. Here's the latest

Lionel Messi will not join the Argentine national team for two World Cup qualifying matches in the next week after suffering an injury during Inter Miami’s 2-1 win against Atlanta United on Sunday night.

Messi was not on Argentina’s roster Monday for matches against Uruguay on Friday and Brazil on March 25. Inter Miami said Messi had a MRI Monday, which revealed he has a "low-grade injury in the adductor muscle."

It's unclear how much time Messi will need to return to action. He recently returned from a three-game layoff due to fatigue.

“It's a shame to miss these two special matches with the national team against Uruguay and Brazil," Messi said on his Instagram account on Monday afternoon. "As always, I wanted to be there, but at the last minute, I suffered an injury. It wasn't serious..."

Messi appeared to feel some discomfort in his left adductor muscle while missing a shot on goal in the 64th minute in the Atlanta match. Messi scored in the 20th minute to draw Inter Miami level at 1, before Fafa Picault scored the game-winning goal in the 89th minute.

It was Messi's second match in the last week.

Messi returned to action off the bench and scored a goal last Thursday as Inter Miami ousted Cavalier FC in Jamaica during the second leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup round-of-16 series.

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano believed Messi initially avoided injury after missing the club’s 4-1 win against the Houston Dynamo on March 2, the first leg against Cavalier on March 6, and against Charlotte FC on March 9.

Messi predominately played in three matches during a six-day stretch from Feb. 19-25, and eight matches in a 40-day span from Jan. 18 to Feb. 14, which included five preseason matches to start the year.

Inter Miami’s next match will be at home against the Philadelphia Union on March 29.
