- Messi misses match on Saturday with persistent leg injury
- Inter Miami salvage 1-1 draw with Avilés goal in stoppage time
- Fans of club bristling at skyrocketing ticket prices for 2024
Here’s how it goes for Inter Miami right now when it comes to the injured Lionel Messi: The team keeps saying he might play, and then he doesn’t play.
That pattern held true again Saturday, when the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was scratched from the lineup for a matchup against New York City FC – a game with significant Major League Soccer playoff implications for both clubs. Messi has a leg injury, the severity of which has not been revealed by Inter Miami.
