After falling humiliated 4-1, the words of the Inter Miami's manager about Lionel Messi

Inter Miami suffered a tough 4-1 defeat against the Chicago Fire in Illinois in the MLS and their chances of qualifying for the Playoffs are almost impossible. Lionel Messi was not part of the roster due to the muscle discomfort that he has been suffering since he was replaced in the first half against Toronto FC, although during the week journalists such as Gastón Edul announced that the captain would return against Cincinnati, just before the match. Double Playoffs. However, Gerardo Martino put a cold shoulder to the situation.

Although they already assumed that the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) would make his comeback this Saturday against the best team in Major League Soccer, whom they eliminated in the semifinals of the US Open Cup, now Tata has once again generated concern at a press conference and was very far from confirming the presence of '10' on the next date.

“We will evaluate him tomorrow and Friday to see if he is fit to play. The most important thing is that he leaves the injury behind and little by little recovers his best form. He is working very well with the medical staff... We will see what is most convenient for the next game,” the Rosario coach assured about Messi in his statements after the defeat against Chicago Fire. In this way, the outlook for Leo's return remains the same: full of uncertainty.

Jordi Alba would not play against Cincinnati

Another of the top players that Inter Miami missed in recent games was the Spanish full-back. Jordi has contributed with goals and assists, but he was injured the same day Messi did and has not returned since. Prior to the duel against Chicago, Tata was consulted about it and announced that they aim for him to make his reappearance against Charlotte, so his presence this weekend seems to be ruled out.
