Lionel Messi, no match after Copa America

On Sunday, Inter Miami challenges Phildelphia Union

.

Many are beginning to wonder where Messi has gone. The Argentine è has been in the pits for almost two months. His last official match played è was the Copa America final, won with his Argentina team against Colombia (winning goal by Lautaro Martinez).

Since that match, l'ex-Barcelona and PSG è has been out of action due to an ankle problem. After also missing the last matches valid for the qualification for the next World Cup with Argentina, Messi resumed training but a new problem (apparently in the throat), forced him to stop again.

Inter Miami, in the night between Saturday and Sunday, è awaited the match with the Philadelphia Union and, once again, barring final twists and turns, will have to do without its number one star. An absence that is making so much noise, since we are still talking about Messi, the one who has dominated the football scenes for almost 15 years.

Excluded from the race for the next Ballon d'Or (he is not è among the 30 finalists) and with a'significant age on his shoulders (37 years old), Messi is going through a delicate moment at the physical level. In recent times, there have been many physical problems that have affected his performance and, often, have forced him to stay and watch others play.
