Days away from his Inter Miami debut, Messi receives the worst news from the United States

Inter Miami has great enthusiasm for the signing of Lionel Messi, but the bitter pills do not stop shaking the American team. On Saturday they chained their seventh consecutive loss in MLS after suffering a tough rout at the hands of the Philadelphia Union on the road, a result that sank them further in the Eastern Conference. However, at the beginning of the week they received bad news again.

Added to the bad sporting moment in the last few hours was the serious injury of one of the team's pillars: Franco Negri. This Tuesday, Inter issued a statement in which it stated about the Argentine defender: “He suffered a left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, June 24. The defender will undergo surgery and he is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season."

In this way, the Garzas lose a key player in the face of the arrival of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or and the dream of trying to climb positions to qualify for the Playoffs. Along the same lines, the possibility opens for the Florida franchise board to move to find a renowned defender who can cover that gap.

Messi will debut against Cruz Azul

Although Inter Miami will need Lionel Messi to enter the MLS Playoffs, the first matches of the Rosario dressed in pink will be in the Leagues Cup, a competition in which they share a group with Cruz Azul and Atlanta United. Precisely against the Mexicans will be the debut of the captain of the Argentine National Team, on July 21.
