Inter Miami’s classification to the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup set off an alarm: the premature departure of Lionel Messi. And this Friday, Javier Morales, Tata Martino’s assistant, spoke about the Argentine star’s injury.
«As for the weekend’s game, it is practically ruled out. We know that he had tests done yesterday, we are still waiting for the doctor’s results to see in detail what he has. “From these results we will see what happens with the National Team,” said the member of the Herons’ coaching staff after morning training.
After the match, Martino had declared that Messi had an overload in the right back and that he took him out (at 50 minutes, with the match 2-0) because “there was no need to take any type of risk.” And he completed: “We tried to see if he could hold out a little longer, but it was bothering him and so we preferred that he leave the game.”
Before joining the Albiceleste, Inter Miami will visit DC United this Saturday from 3:00 p.m. (ARG) for the MLS, a match in which the player from Rosario would not play, just as Tata had also mentioned.
Argentina, for its part, will face El Salvador on Friday, March 22 (9 p.m.) in Philadelphia and Costa Rica on Tuesday, the 26th of the same month (11:50 p.m.) in Los Angeles, for the first FIFA Date of the year, in two friendly preparatory matches for the Copa América.
After the victory against Nashville, in a match that featured a goal and an assist from Messi, Inter Miami met its rivals for the 2024 edition of the Leagues Cup (Puebla and Tigres) and its opponent for the Concacaf quarterfinals Champions Cup: Rayados de Monterrey.
