Messi says leg 'getting better' but could miss Japan match

Inter-Miami superstar Lionel Messi said Tuesday his strained leg muscle was "getting better" but could not guarantee he would be fit to play in the pre-season friendly in Japan this week.

Two days ago, furious fans in Hong Kong booed Messi and club co-owner David Beckham, shouting "Refund", after the Argentina great failed to take the field for a sold-out friendly.
