Argentine star Lionel Messi will miss his team Inter Miami’s match against Columbus, the American League champion, on Tuesday in the League Cup.
Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino has decided to exclude Messi from the team’s squad after he suffered an injury to his right ankle a month ago during Argentina’s 1-0 win over Colombia in the Copa America final. So far, the player has not participated in his team’s training.
Clubs from the American and Mexican leagues participate in the Leagues Cup, which Inter Miami, led by Messi, won the title of its first edition last year.
Eight matches will be held in the round of 16 to determine the eight qualifiers for the quarter-finals, which will be held on Friday and Saturday.
The start of this round witnessed the victory of the American Seattle Sounders over the Mexican Pumas 4-0.
In the other matches to be played on Tuesday, Philadelphia will play against Cincinnati, Cruz Azul of Mexico will play against its compatriot Mazatlan, Tigres of Mexico will play against New York City, Toluca of Mexico will play against Colorado, and Club America of Mexico will play against San Luis.
