It is not his injury, the problem that keeps Messi awake at night in the MLS

The Argentine star is well aware that he has a problem that could leave him without playing for longer, but there is something that keeps him up at night

Lionel Messi is experiencing a particular moment in the MLS of the United States. Having played just 37 minutes of the last six games of the team led by Argentine Tata Martino, the captain and 10 of David Beckham's pink franchise knows that it is the end of his career and that he takes everything more lightly, something that He has even said publicly after having won everything and being world champion, but his hunger for sporting competition is in suspense due to the situation that he is about to realize.

What has been said: of the last six games of Inter Miami, that is, Kansas City, Atlanta United, Toronto, Orlando City and New York, all in the MLS, and the US Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo, the best player of the MLS has hit the foul practically every time. The time he took a risk, he asked for a change before the first half ended and although Tata Martino has said that he will play again before the end of the season, this does not agree with the information from journalists who follow soccer in the United States. They assure that Leo will not play again for the rest of the year due to his injury.

Beyond his injury, what worries Lionel Messi the most is that Inter Miami depends on a miracle to qualify. He has just 33 points in 30 games. They have 12 left to play and are four behind the last one to qualify, DC United, which is equal in points with Chicago Fire and Montreal. Unfortunately, even though Inter Miami won its four remaining games, it is not up to them to qualify. This would mean for Messi not to play official matches until March 2024! A very long break.

What games remain for Messi's Inter Miami

Inter Miami must face four games before its participation in the regular season ends: Chicago Fire as a visitor, who if they lose could be out of everything, Cincinatti at home (the best team in the MLS for now), Charlotte local and visitor again. To aspire to qualify, you need to get 12 points, and wait. Very complicated!
