News broke that Lionel Messi sustained an injury in the match against CF Montreal, which would affect his ability to play in Inter Miami’s upcoming game against Orlando.
In the latest update, Messi suffered a knee injury during Inter Miami’s recent match against Montreal, as reported by Inter Miami’s assistant coach, Javier Morales. Fellow Argentine stars Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets will also undergo assessments before the game against Orlando City on April 16 (Vietnam time). This news comes as a major blow to both Inter Miami and fans of the Argentina national team, especially with the upcoming Copa America 2024 just around the corner. Messi has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 10 goals and providing 9 assists in just 9 MLS matches. The 37-year-old forward has been a key player in Inter Miami’s success and is on track to break numerous records in American soccer. If he is unable to play in the upcoming match against Orlando, the Florida team will face a significant setback.

In a recent game against the New York Red Bulls, Messi made history in the MLS by being the first player to provide 5 assists in one match this season. Additionally, the 2022 World Cup winner scored a total of 6 goals in that game, making him the first player in MLS history to achieve this feat.
Since joining Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, Messi has been plagued by various minor injuries, which have kept him out of action for a good number of games with the team. Earlier this year, the football legend also suffered a hamstring injury, causing him to sit out the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal match, where Inter Miami unfortunately fell 1-2 to Monterrey. Next up for Inter Miami is a midweek MLS game against Orlando City, adding some extra excitement to MLS Rivalry Week. The Herons will be eager to secure another win against their local rivals and complete an early-season double over them.
