Just before his offical debut, Messi receives the worst news from the United States and worries fans

July has arrived, the month in which Lionel Messi will officially become a footballer for Inter Miami. Both Leo himself and the Florida club have already made the announcement, but the signing and presentation have only been agreed for the 16th of this month, after La Pulga ends his vacation. Now, before his arrival, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or received a low blow from the MLS.

Three days after the captain of the Argentine National Team became an Inter player, the MLS All-Star Game will take place, a match in which a combination of the best soccer players in the United States league will face Arsenal. Now, to everyone's surprise, Messi is prohibited from participating in said event.

Although the '10' is, by far, the most emblematic figure, the regulations prevent him from participating in the All-Star Game. And it is that the norm indicates that in order to be part of the team, the players must have played at least half of the games of the season before May 18. Leo, for his part, will not have played even one by that date.

The Argentines who will be in the MLS All-Star game

Despite the fact that Messi will not be able to be present, the Argentine soccer players who will be part of the match against Arsenal are Thiago Almada, Luciano Acosta, Lucas Zelarayán and Cristian Espinoza. They will all come together in one All-Star team and will be led by Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United striker and current DC United manager.
