Messi suffers leg injury in Copa final

Argentina captain Lionel Messi sustained a leg injury during Copa America final against Colombia in Miami today.

The Argentina superstar went down in the first half after getting his leg tangled with Santiago Arias while trying to put in a cross. He received treatment on his right leg but was able to hobble on until the halftime break and then received additional attention.

He made it twenty minutes into the second half before falling to the ground after an innocuous challenge on the halfway line. He was seen with ice on his right ankle on the bench after being substituted and broke down in tears on the substitutes‍‍` bench.
