The worrying message from the Inter Miami coach about Lionel Messi's return from injury

Inter Miami faced Orlando City in a match where they certainly sought victory, despite not having Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. Despite this, the Florida team placed itself significantly in the duel and gained a valuable point against its rival thanks to a goal from Honduran Ruiz. However, after the match, Gerardo Martino shared a worrying message regarding Lionel Messi's return to the team.

Lionel Messi's absence in this match was due to the recent physical discomfort that the Argentine player has had. However, the footballer seemed to have no problem with playing in the US Open Cup final. However, now it seems that things could take a different turn, with the most recent message that Gerardo Martino shared after the tie between Orlando City and Inter Miami.

The Florida derby ended in a tie and with this result Inter Miami has accumulated 32 points (it has two games pending) and was five points away from the qualifying positions for the playoff playoffs, which are currently occupied by Montreal Impact and New York FC , which they will face on Saturday, September 30 in Fort Lauderdale for matchday 35 of the MLS. However, the club's attention is on Lionel Messi and the final in the US Open Cup. The coach of the Florida team left doubts about whether Lionel Messi will really start on September 27 against the Houston Dynamo.

What did Gerardo Martino say about Lionel Messi?

"We go day by day. I will wait for what he tells me and how he feels. It is not an easy decision, but let's take our time to make the best decision," said the Argentine coach. Thus, he kept the doubt installed, which may remain until the day of the match. Beyond Gerardo Martino's caution, Leo does not have any serious injury, but rather discomfort in an old scar on the femoral biceps of his right leg.
