Inter Miami's Lionel Messi Out of Orlando Match Due to Injury: Team's Strategy for Success Without Him
Lionel Messi will not be playing in Inter Miami's upcoming match against Orlando due to a minor muscle injury, according to coach Javier Mascherano. The team is being cautious with Messi's recovery and is hopeful that he will return soon. Inter Miami will face the LA Galaxy and Tigres UANL in the coming days after the Orlando match. Messi sustained the injury during a previous match against Necaxa and has been sidelined since then. Despite Messi's absence, Inter Miami recently welcomed Rodrigo De Paul, who scored his first goal for the team in a victory over Pumas UNAM, securing their spot in the Leagues Cup quarter-finals. The team is currently in fifth place in the MLS Eastern Conference, with upcoming matches that will be crucial for their standings.
