Why did Messi missed Inter Miami’s match against Cavalier?

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said on Wednesday that the eight time the Golden Ball winner was not injured and added that his availability for Thursday was similar to the other active players on the list. However, it was not chosen.

Miami is currently in a period of four games in 11 days. After Thursday’s match, Inter Miami will take over the League game against Charlotte on Sunday before his match against Cavalier on March 13 in Kingston, Jamaica.

This could be a major reason why Mascherano would have decided to rest Messi. Giving Messi a rest in the middle of a busy schedule is the best way to keep the winner of eight times golden ball of injuries.

In addition to playing for Inter Miami, Messi should also appear for Argentina during the international break in the Qualifications of the FIFA World Cup 2026 against Uruguay (March 22) and Brazil (March 26).

Messi has already played in five pre-season friendly games for Miami, as well as his MLS season’s opening match against the New York City FC.
