Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Inter Miami
Monday
Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul will miss Inter Miami’s next two MLS matches after Argentina’s World Cup final defeat. ESPN reported both players will sit out games against Chicago Fire and CF Montréal.
Messi played all 120 minutes of the final and started every Argentina match at the tournament. Their rest follows wider player-welfare guidance recommending at least 21 days off after a demanding season.
