The uncertainty surrounding Lionel Messi is over as he did not travel with Inter Miami for his Major League Soccer appearance against Atlanta United. Once again Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who had already left the Argentine star’s presence in doubt, will have to rely on his team to get the three points and continue to aim for the playoffs.
“Leo is fine, but we still have to wait for training to make a final decision. Of course we will be very careful because we know we have a significant number of games in the short term, but our intention is not to hurt Leo or any other player, so we will talk about it daily and see how it goes “You want to know which player will be available in each of the games,” said “Tata” before announcing that he would ultimately not be selected for the MLS signing.
Finally, the decision was made not to travel with the team to give him a break, as we should not forget that he did not even play the game against Bolivia with the Argentina national team.
“Messi is stretching out his recovery after the Monumental qualifier against Ecuador and was left out of the squad (against Atlanta United). “Messi is not playing, extending the lineup for a few more days for a series of games that includes the US Open Cup final,” ESPN reported.
Just like at home, where they struggled to win against Sporting Kansas City, Inter Miami will have to play another game without their new captain.
