When will Lionel Messi play again with Inter Miami?

Lionel Messi once again led Inter Miami to a new victory against LAFC in a match that the Florida team ended up being superior and taking the 3-1 victory at BMO Stadium. Facundo Farias, Jordi Alba and Leo Campana were the scorers for Gerardo Martino's team. However, now the club will have to prepare without Messi for the following duels.

The Argentine will leave with the Argentine National Team for the next two-week international break, where he has been called up and will play in the qualifiers to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The footballer would miss the next two Inter Miami games because MLS has not decided stop their activities, despite the fact that there is a FIFA date.

Inter Miami faces Sporting Kansas City on August 9, where Messi's absence is ruled out. However, for the match against Atlanta United on August 16, the player would have just returned from his call-up with the Argentine team, so it is not certain if he will be considered for said game, although if necessary, Messi could appear in said meeting.

What did Messi say after the victory?

“The group grows more every day, we saw it from the beginning of all this, when we were all there. We were lucky to get a tournament, to get into a final. We are going to try to get into the top eight to try to win the league, this is the path and winning gives us a lot of confidence”, assured the Argentine.
