Lionel Messi will miss out on an anticipated clash against one of Mexico’s biggest clubs.
The Inter Miami superstar won’t play in Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarterfinal match against Tigres UANL due to a “minor” muscle injury, according to ESPN.
Messi picked up the injury back on Aug. 2 against Necaxa in the tournament that features both MLS and Liga MX teams. Messi then sat out the following Leagues Cup game against Pumas, as well as an MLS match against Orlando City.
He returned to action on Saturday as a substitute against the LA Galaxy in MLS action, scoring and assisting in a 3-1 win. Messi leads MLS with 19 goals scored.
Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano hinted that Messi’s injury was still lingering.
“Leo didn’t train with the group; he trained separately. It was a bit like the same situation I described the other day after the [Galaxy] Oyun, oynadığı 45 dakika boyunca rahatsız hissettiğinde, “dedi Mascherano Salı.
Çarşamba günkü maçın galibi Lagues Kupası yarı finallerine geçecek ve Toluca-Orlando City kazananıyla karşılaşacak. Braketin diğer tarafında Seattle Sounders vs. Puebla ve Galaxy vs. Pachuca bulunmaktadır.
