Lionel Messi was left out of the squad and does not even occupy a place on Inter Miami’s substitute bench, which is going for a new title. In the city of Fort Lauderdale, Gerardo Martino’s team loses 2-0 Houston Dynamo, for the US Open Cup. The goals were from Griffin Dorsey at 24 of the first half and by Amine Bassi, from a penalty, at 30 .
Almost 40 minutes before the stipulated time for the start of the match, the organization of the Miami franchise released the lineup sheet for Tata Martino’s team and the number 10 of the Argentine National Team did not appear among the available players.
There were no official explanations in this regard but sources close to the club briefly confided that “The best thing was not to risk it.” Several times, the coach had stated that he was going to discuss it with the player and that if he was not one hundred percent it was preferable to wait for full recovery.
In theory, that rebellious, not completely healed scar on the hamstring of his left leg continues to affect the former Barcelona player, to such an extent that Martino declined to even place him on the bench.
What is Inter’s offense like without Lionel Messi?
The Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana, Facundo Farías from Santa Fe (former Columbus) and Finn Robert Taylor will make up the attacking trident, while the Argentine nationalized American Benjamín Cremaschi will also be from the start in a game generator role. On the substitute bench, among others, will be the Honduran David Ruiz, the Argentine striker Nicolás Stefanelli (former Defensa y Justicia) and the Venezuelan Josef Martínez.
