Follow usLionel Messi could be on the bench in Inter Miami’s next match against the New York Red Bulls. This will be the Argentinean’s MLS debut, with some tickets costing over $20,000.
Inter head coach Tata Martino said the superstar was reaching his “physical limit”.
“Leo and many other players are reaching an important physical limit and from today we will start to monitor that – how to go into the next three games,” Martino said after Wednesday’s US Cup victory over Cincinnati.
Messi played the full 120 minutes in the shootout win. Since making his debut on July 21, the 36-year-old has played eight games in 33 days, scoring 10 goals.
Messi was originally scheduled to make his MLS debut against FC Charlotte on August 20th, but the match was postponed due to both teams’ US Cup commitments.
