Lionel Messi has already suffered the first squad blow at Inter Miami as new teammate Sergio Reguilon raises concern over his injury during the team's first preseason game.

The result, however, was overshadowed by a bigger concern: Sergio Reguilón, who suffered an injury in his first appearance with the team, raising alarm within the Herons.
