Despite shining in his debut, the tragic news that shakes Messi and the United States

Not everything is joy at Inter Miami. Despite the fact that the club returned to victory after six games and had a film debut by Lionel Messi, the victory over Cruz Azul went to the background this Saturday after the confirmation of a news that shook everyone at the club, including the captain of the Argentine National Team.

Although what is most remembered, and will be remembered, of the match is the free kick of the top Ballon d'Or winner (7) to make it 2-1 final 94 minutes into the match, there was another episode that marked the clash: Ian Fray's injury 30 minutes into the first half. The 20-year-old defender left the field in great pain and now, on the day of the date, the seriousness of that action that forced him to leave before the break was confirmed.

As the franchise reported in a statement, Fray suffered an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season. Messi dedicated the victory precisely to him, anticipating that it could be something severe. The young footballer had already suffered serious injuries before and now, at his young age, he will have to face another recovery.
