Preserved against Al-Nassr, against whom he only played 8 minutes, Lionel Messi could start on Sunday in Hong Kong for the next friendly match of Inter Miami.
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami did not linger in Saudi Arabia. The day after the slap received in Riyadh against Al-NAssr (6-0), the Argentinian and his teammates headed to Hong Kong where the Florida club will play its next preparation match on Sunday. Will Messi be there? The eight-time Ballon d’Or player only played 8 minutes Thursday evening against Al-Nassr, due to a small physical problem, is on his way back.
“We want Leo to play as much as possible, explained his trainer Tata Martino this Friday during a press conference in Hong Kong. We will take stock with our players. We hope Leo plays as many minutes as possible. We will see tomorrow (Saturday) in training, but it is likely that he will play on Sunday. »
Imperative victory on Sunday
Inter Miami could really use Messi because the Floridians are having a hard time at the moment, since they were beaten by Dallas (1-0) and Al-Hilal (4-3) before this humiliation against Al-Nassr ( 6-0), which the Argentinian essentially experienced on the bench. “We must break this dynamic, Martino hopes. It is a priority to win on Sunday. »
“There are many aspects to improve, added Martino. We had imperfections, it’s not a specific thing. Obviously, we conceded a lot of goals. We try to find a way for players to give their best. If there is a time when this needs to happen and the alarm needs to go off, it better happen in preseason. We will try to improve and put forward the best team in our first championship match. »
