Dybala’s injury adds to the situation of Messi, who this week was injured from the match that Inter Miami beat Nashville 3 to 1, for the Concachampions. La Pulga felt a discomfort in the first half, where he showed part of his repertoire with an assist and the conquest of the second goal. But there was nothing to suggest that the situation could be a little more complex; Messi came out to play the second period. However, he barely lasted five minutes and asked to be replaced.

The coach of Inter Miami, Gerardo Martino, decided not to include him for the match that this Saturday, the Florida team will play against DC United, for the MLS. “It will not be available, that is the only thing I can say for what is to come. Surely they will take an image of it in the next few hours, we will see how it evolves,” said Tata. Inter Miami reported that Messi has “a small injury to his right hamstring,” but did not go any further about what is coming. According to the club, his availability “will be determined based on daily medical evaluations and the development of his recovery in the coming days.”

Another of the casualties that the team has suffered since the squad list was announced is that of Marcos Senesi, defender of Bournemouth (England), who had a muscle discomfort shortly after the start of the match against Burnley, for the Premier League.
