During their 3-2 triumph against CF MTL last Saturday, Messi sustained “a minor knock” to his knee, as reported by assistant coach Javier Morales. Presently, the Argentine icon, alongside Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez, will undergo evaluation before Wednesday night’s showdown against Orlando City.
Messi has been a linchpin for Inter Miami’s achievements this season, notching 10 goals and nine assists across nine MLS matches. He’s on track to surpass nearly every single-season attacking milestone in the league’s annals. Should he be unavailable on Wednesday, his team will need to devise a strategy to secure victory sans their primary asset.
In the match against the New York Red Bulls two fixtures ago, Messi established an MLS milestone, becoming the inaugural player to provide five assists in a regular season game. Simultaneously, he contributed to a total of six goals in the same fixture, marking the first time a player achieved such a feat in MLS history.
Miami is slated to face Orlando City on Wednesday night as part of the midweek lineup of MLS encounters. As part of Rivalry Week, the Herons aspire to clinch another win over their archrivals early in the season.
