Lionel Messi will not play in the Olympics, according to reports in Argentina. Messi will lead the South American champions in the cup final against Monterrey.
Messi is recovering from an injury and will hope to be fit for the return match. Inter Miami counts three consecutive games without a win, since they managed to beat DC United without Messi. If he succeeds in helping the American team reverse the result from the first game and advance to the semi-finals, he will also close the account with the Monterey fans by chanting "Messi is afraid"
