Lionel Messi does not play this Wednesday for Inter Miami in what, to date, is the most important match in the history of the Florida club. The Argentine star, affected by a muscle injury in the hamstring of his right leg that has hurt him since the preseason tour of Asia, resolved together with the coaching staff to preserve himself.

Gerardo Tata Martino had anticipated it in the press conference prior to the match for the continental tournament, which qualifies the champion for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
