The 36-year-old Argentine has not yet fully recovered from the right ankle injury he sustained a month ago in the last Copa America match against Colombia (1-0). Since then, Messi has not been able to train with his Inter Miami teammates.
The Copa del Liga is a competition that brings together clubs from MLS and Mexico's Liga MX. Last year, Messi played a crucial role in Inter Miami winning the first trophy. On Wednesday, August 14, reigning MLS champions Columbus Crew will face current season leaders Inter Miami in the round of XNUMX. The quarterfinal matches will take place on Saturday and Sunday.
