Inter Miami CF’s top player Lionel Messi might miss the next game against Orlando City because he got hurt in the last match against CF Montreal. The coaches are checking how bad his knee is to decide if he can play or not.
Messi’s really important for Inter Miami. He’s scored 10 goals and made 9 assists in just 9 MLS games this season, breaking records. But now, his injury puts his participation in doubt, and Inter Miami will have to figure out how to win without him if he can’t play.
Assistant coach Javier Morales confirmed Messi’s injury, describing it as “a little knock,” raising concerns about his participation in the pivotal match against Orlando City. Alongside fellow stalwarts Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez, Messi will undergo evaluation before a final decision is made regarding his inclusion in the lineup.
The game against Orlando City is a big one, especially since it’s part of Rivalry Week. Inter Miami wants to win, but it won’t be easy without Messi. Fans are waiting nervously for updates on Messi’s injury, hoping he gets better quickly and can play in the game.
Miami take on Orlando City Wednesday evening in a midweek slate of MLS action. As a part of Rivalry Week, the Herons will look to secure an early-season double over their bitter foes.
