Lionel Messi is currently injured after the Copa America final against Colombia last week. Since then, Inter Miami confirmed that Messi has suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle. The Argentine icon will not play for Inter Miami in the next six to eight weeks, but he will be evaluated week by week. He already missed the two MLS games this past week, where the two won at the Chase Stadium against Toronto FC and Chicago Fire.
Messi may be going through an injury, but the Argentine player now enjoys his time off and spends it with his family and friends. Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, posted pictures of Messi relaxing at his home in Miami, and the pair spent time in a yacht with friends, including Luis Suarez and his partner.
Football fans noticed that Messi was wearing the protective boot he needed to wear to avoid the risk of another ankle injury. Fans also noticed Messi's sunburn on his chest in one of the pictures posted by his wife. Fans wrote comments like, "Don't forget your sunblock, Leo," or like, "Make sure to put on sunblock properly next time." Messi was soaking up in the sun, where Miami is known to by very sunny and hot.
Messi is always happy to spend time with his family and with his wife whenever he is on a break or is injured. The Argentine wants to play football as well, but as of late, he is more fine to take some time off to properly recover. Messi spoke highly about his wife and said, "I admire everything about Antonela, the way she gets by on a daily basis, her personality, she is always in a good mood, and she always faces up to problems in an admirable way.”
Messi is very appreciative of his wife and tells a story about her in the past that shows how much he loves her. Messi said, "I've known Antonela since she was seven. When I came to Barcelona [as a teenager], there was no way to communicate constantly. We spoke once a week, and they were short calls so that it didn't cost a lot of money. But all my life I've had Antonela in my head." The World Cup winner and the Ballon d'Or winner is very happy to have his partner to him in key moments in his career.
After Inter Miami defeated Toronto FC 3-1 and defeated Chicago Fire 2-1, Messi's team will be playing in the Leagues Cup. They will play two Liga MX teams in the next two weeks. Inter Miami is placed in East Group 3 with Club Puebla and Tigres UNAL. Only two teams advance to the Round of 32.
Inter Miami will first play against Club Puebla this Saturday at the Chase Stadium. On August 3rd, Inter Miami will play against Tigres at the NRG Stadium. If Inter Miami does not advance to the next round, their next game will be on August 24th in the MLS against Cincinnati FC. With Lionel Messi, Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup last year.
