Which seemed evident after the statement issued by the Inter Miami This week, it was confirmed by the technical director of the team, Javier Mascheranoin a later press conference: Lionel Messi It will not be part of the next game of the club in the Cup Leagues, against the Mexican Pumas.
The alarms began to sound strongly after the Argentine had to leave on Saturday the last shock of the “herons” against the Necaxa at minute 11 for an apparent injury, which was later confirmed by the same institution in a bulletin.
While Inter Miami did not offer further details about it, he said it was a minor injury in a right -legged muscle. The team did not offer a probable time in which Messi could return to action, but Mascherano made it clear that he will not be in the field in the next challenge.
“I talked to him. Well, the club issued a statement that was very clear. It is a minor injury. Among the bad news, they are good news,” Mascherano said in his press conference prior to the clash against Los Pumas.
However, the “JECHECT” didn’t want to speculate with a possible return date for the phenomenon of Rosario.
“We do not like to speculate with the return, especially in the case of Leo,” said Mascherano. “Usually he recovers very well from injuries and above all, he usually does it quickly. So let’s see, but obvious that against the Pumas will not be available. But then we will see how he feels, how he progresses,” he added.
Beyond a great name
Losing Messi is an extremely complex blow to Inter Miami. The eight -time Golden Ball winner has contributed to 33 goals of the team in a total of 31 played games, scoring 24 times.
The former player of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also records nine assists and two of them arrived in the Inter Miami inaugural duel against the Atlas in the CUP Leagues.
Now, with a pass to the next phase on the horizon, the club will have to rely on other weapons to overcome the Pumas. In the case of a defeat, they could stay out of the competition, which they won a couple of years ago.
