Inter Miami’s victory against Nashville certified the Florida team’s place in the quarterfinals of the Concachampions. After the game, Tata Martino left the chances of Messi playing this Saturday against DC United very low. This news, added to his departure with the Argentine National Team and his previous absence against Montreal, could mean that Messi will not be in three consecutive MLS games.
This decision comes from an excessive accumulation of minutes at the start of the course. The Asian tour, added to the frenetic start of the season in the United States, began to reveal last year’s problems with minute management, which led to Leo’s forced absence in the most important part of the season.
If he was absent against DC United, Messi would not return to play with Inter Miami until almost April. The Argentine star will join his national team next week, in order to play two preparatory friendlies for the Copa América that will be played in the United States between the months of June and July. Due to this, he will miss the away clash against New York Red Bulls.

Messi is going to be away for a couple of weeks, but not on vacation. The forward will continue accumulating training sessions and matches with Scaloni, although on this occasion, in a less tired way than what happened last year in the FIFA window of the South American Qualifiers, since Argentina will travel to the United States to hold these friendlies, which will reduce the travel burden of its top star.

With an entire year full of demanding competitions and dozens of goals set for Leo, a good rapport between Inter Miami and the AFA is essential to make the 36-year-old forward’s schedule more bearable. The dosage of minutes and prevention of discomfort will be key so that both teams can enjoy the best Messi.
