With Lionel Messi rumored to be at DRV PNK Stadium, Toronto FC departs for Florida on Tuesday for a midweek match at Inter Miami.
The Argentine great missed Miami’s past two MLS games after helping Miami win the Leagues Cup and advance to the U.S. Open Cup final. Messi was held out, according to Miami’s head coach Gerardo (Tata) Martino, “because he has muscular fatigue and it was prudent to leave him.”
In order to protect the 36-year-old Messi from overworking himself during a hectic period of the team’s schedule, Martino informed reporters on Friday.
“If he is well and confident, he can get to play, and if this doesn’t happen, he will wait a few more days,” the Argentine coach stated.
In anticipation of the match on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Toronto, like the majority of people, is waiting and seeing.
Terry Dunfield, the interim coach for Toronto, stated on Monday, “We’re hoping to see Messi.” “Since he joined the league, I believe his work has been great. Not only personally, but also in terms of how he has improved Inter Miami, his teammates, and the league in general.
