With confirmed lineups, Lionel Messi is not even among the substitutes and will add his seventh game off the court.

Although official confirmation remains, The different publications made by the Inter Miami account did not include Lionel Messi. Therefore, everything would seem to indicate that Ten would miss another game.

The last game played by Inter Miami It took place on September 27. On that occasion, without Lionel Messi on the field, those led by Tata Martino They lost the US Open Cup final 2 to 1 against Dynamo.

Led by Nick Cushing, NYCFC has several Argentines among its ranks: Braian Cufré, Matías Pellegrini and Julián Fernández. The latter, former Vélez, has just scored a goal on the last date, coming off the bench.

NYCFC is coming off a positive streak: it hasn’t lost in five games. His last fall was a 3-0 vs. Cincinnati on August 26. Afterwards, he added three victories (2-0 vs. Montreal, 2-0 vs. Orlando City and 3-0 vs. Toronto FC) and two draws (1-1 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps and 0-0 vs. New York RB ). For now, occupies the last qualifying place for the playoffs heading to the play-offs: it is 9th with 37 points in the Eastern Conference.

Leo, throughout his career, had several micro-injuries in that area. “Messi has a muscle scar from an old injury, which is what bothers him today. The biggest problem is that if that scar breaks, it will cause a much more serious injury than a traditional muscle injury.“, summarizes someone who knows the 10 well. “Now what is being done is working on the scar so that it does not break while playing a match. For some reason, at some point the scar did not heal properly and now it pulls him, it bothers him, it doesn’t let him play pain-free. “No one wants that scar to break because otherwise the rehabilitation will be much longer.”

Messi’s times are so frenetic that a 13-day break (after playing 12 games in 48 days) generates a withdrawal crisisthat a match in which he only lasts 35′ on the court scares the millions of fans who want to continue watching him and that he misses a final (the sixth in his career) already sets off alarms…

The specific thing is that Leo, who is 36 years old and warned that he will not be able to play as much as before, is not injured. Three studies were done in the last 15 days (after Ecuador, upon returning to the United States and after the match against Toronto) and they all yielded the same information: there is no strain or fibrillar rupture in the hamstrings of the right leg. And then? The problem is that Leo feels pain and it prevents him from playing normally.

Then, they lost to Houston Dynamo 2-1, in what was the definition of the US Open Cup. Of course, they were without the stellar participation of Lionel Messi…
