Martino said Messi could miss the US Open Cup final due to injury
Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino questioned the participation of the club’s Argentine striker Lionel Messi and defender Jordi Alba in the US Open Cup final. His words are quoted by the website of the Major League Soccer (MLS).
“For Messi, this is a consequence of an old injury that worries him. Of course they won’t play on Sunday [против “Орландо Сити”]” said Martino. He expressed confidence that Messi and Alba would miss the US Open Cup final if they were not fit to do so.
Messi, 36, became an Inter Miami player on July 15. His agreement with the American club runs until the end of the 2024/2025 season. In four matches for the team in MLS, he scored one goal and made two assists.
Since 2021, the Argentine has played for Paris Saint-Germain. His contract with the Parisians ran until June 2023 with an option to extend for one season. Before this, the forward played for Barcelona. As part of the Catalans, he won the Spanish championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
