The reason why Lionel Messi did not travel with Inter Miami

Inter Miami surprised everyone and decided to rest Lionel Messi. Gerardo Martino's team traveled without the Argentine player to face Atlanta United in a match corresponding to the next MLS date and the American team decided that the Argentine was not going to be part of the expedition. However, this has a specific reason. That is, an important decision after this situation.

Some local journalists like Federico Bueno reported the fact that Messi will not play in the franchise's next clash and even Lionel did not appear in the photos that Inter published of the players boarding. However, La Pulga put an end to the mystery and showed that he stayed in Miami and did not travel with the rest of the squad for the match they will have this afternoon against the team led by Thiago Almada.

Although the technical director Gerardo Martino stressed that the Argentine star did not present any physical discomfort and that he trained alongside his teammates (La Pulga had just not gained minutes in the match against Bolivia in La Paz with the Argentine team), At a press conference he had already raised doubts regarding his presence in Georgia. “It's okay, but we're going to wait to make a final decision. We will be very careful because we have a number of important games in the short term,” he said.

What will happen to Messi?

In this way, they will play again without the presence of the former Barcelona and PSG for the second time. The first was last weekend, when they defeated Kansas City 3-2 at home. Tata Martino's men, with 28 points, appear in 14th place in their area, six away from reaching DC United, the last to access the Repechage of the Major League Soccer playoffs. It is worth noting that the pink and black team, since the arrival of La Pulga, radically changed its level since it has accumulated 12 undefeated games
