Khaberni - The Messi family confirmed that the father of the Inter Miami American club striker is recovering from the health issue he suffered from "noticeably", after numerous new reports spread in the media suggesting that something had caused him to cry in his press talk after the victory over Algeria, by three goals to nothing, in the 2026 World Cup currently held in America, Mexico, and Canada.
The speculations about the health of Jorge Messi increased after his son Lionel Messi wiped his tears with his shirt after scoring Argentina's first goal against Algeria in the first round of the group stage in the 2026 World Cup, with the team captain acknowledging in his media talk that he was crying for personal reasons unrelated to sports, and experiencing a “difficult” time, in his words.
The Messi family mentioned that Jorge "is under medical monitoring" and asked everyone to respect their privacy, without specifying the nature of the health issue, adding in their official statement, which was sent to news agencies and global media: "The health of any person and the peace of mind of those around them should not be subject to speculation or irresponsible media attention."
One of the close associates of the Argentina national team star, Lionel Messi, spoke to Reuters, confirming that the father of the Inter Miami American club striker had been admitted to a hospital in Argentina, and his health condition was critical, which is the personal matter he spoke about to the media after the victory over Algeria by three goals to nothing.
