Lionel Messi was also missing from his club Inter Miami’s away game at Chicago Fire. The Argentine world champion, who is currently struggling with an old scar, was unable to play in his club’s 4-1 defeat in Major League Soccer. The 36-year-old has already missed five of the last six games. Because the absence of MLS’s biggest attraction was expected, Chicago fans were given the option of a financial refund.
“We understand that many of our fans may be disappointed if they do not get the chance to see him (Messi),” Chicago Fire said on its website.
