Not only Messi and Jordi Alba, the other star who would not play against Orlando City

Inter Miami wants to continue collecting wins heading to the MLS playoffs. Gerardo Martino's team is among the possible candidates to be among the best eight in its confederation, but will have to win almost all the remaining games to have any kind of chance. Now, the club will face Orlando City on the next date, with the absences of Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi, due to injury. However, it is revealed that another footballer would also be rested.

Both Leo and Jordi had reappeared in the match with Toronto FC after being absent, but both had to leave in the first half due to muscle discomfort. Although it was found that none of them have a serious injury, Tata's position was to protect them, aiming for them to reach the US Open Cup final. However, this Saturday it was confirmed that Martino made another drastic decision for the Clásico del Sol: Sergio Busquets will not play either.

According to Inter Miami supporter journalist Franco Panizo, the midfielder will rest in the clash against Orlando so that he arrives fresh for Wednesday's final. However, this generated controversy, since the Herons fans consider that, with this decision, the Argentine coach is practically giving away the weekend's match and, if they do not win, it could jeopardize access to the post-season. It should be remembered that the last precedent between these two franchises was very spicy, so much so that Messi was seen angry and even received a yellow card.

Busquets' performance in Miami

Perhaps he is not the player with the greatest spotlight, but the midfielder's work is substantial, to maintain Inter Miami's balance. However, the Spaniard has not rested in any game since his arrival. Sergio Busquets has played every game since he joined the American team. However, he surprised what he does in an important way in each match, which is why Martino prioritizes the final of the US Open Cup, which is next September 27.
