Lionel Messi’s Sister Injured in Car Crash, Wedding Postponed

Maria Sol Messi, sister of football superstar Lionel Messi, has been forced to postpone her wedding after sustaining serious injuries in a car crash in Miami. Reports say she suffered spinal fractures, burns, a fractured heel, and a fractured wrist.

Argentinian journalist Angel de Brito shared that Messi’s mother confirmed Maria Sol is “out of danger” but will require a lengthy period of rehabilitation.

Maria Sol was scheduled to marry Julian “Tuli” Arellano, part of Inter Miami’s under-19 coaching staff, in her hometown of Rosario on January 3, with the entire Messi family expected to attend, including Lionel Messi.

De Brito said: “She suffered burns, which are very difficult to treat, as well as displacement of vertebrae. She’s already started her rehabilitation in Rosario. She has two fractured vertebrae, a fractured heel, and wrist. The wedding is going to be put back. Her mum told me she fainted and hit a wall.”

Maria Sol, 32, is also a successful designer and entrepreneur, having worked on several of her brother’s projects while establishing her own brand, all while maintaining a relatively private life away from the media spotlight.
