MEN’S FOOTBALL: Lionel Messi suffered an injury scare ahead of the World Cup as he left Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union with an apparent hamstring injury. Having set up two of Miami’s four first-half goals, Messi reached for his leg in the 73rd minute after taking a free-kick. The 38-year-old was replaced by Matteo Silvetti and headed straight down the tunnel without assistance from medical staff. 

WOMEN’S TENNIS: Emma Raducanu was at a loss to explain her horror start at the French Open after a first-round defeat to Solana Sierra. The British number one lost 6-0 7-6 (4), failing to win a game in the opening set, with zero winners and 15 unforced errors. She recovered from 4-1 down in the second set to force a tie-break but lost. Raducanu will now focus on the grass-court season, where she has traditionally performed strongly.

HORSE RACING: David O’Meara is hoping for rain before stable star Estrange returns in Saturday’s Lester Piggott Stakes at Haydock. The mare won the Group Three contest and the Lancashire Oaks last season before placing behind Minnie Hauk in the Yorkshire Oaks. A planned Arc bid was scrapped after a dirty scope, though she later finished second to Kalpana at Ascot. Ground conditions remain a concern for her seasonal return.
