The debut of the Argentinean in the new team is expected in a match with the Mexican Cruz Azul on July 22
Owner Inter Miami David Beckham said that the club will not rush to debut a star striker Lionel Messi. The decision on the participation of the Argentinean in the next match will be made by the head coach Tata Martino based on the form of the player.
“We don’t know if Leo will play in the next match, maybe he will get a few minutes. The main thing is that in the end he be ready. We need to protect him and make sure he’s ready because he was on vacation and just arrived in Miami. He’s trained and looks good.”
“I think Leo and Tata Martino will decide if he plays on Friday. But the atmosphere here will be amazing and hopefully we can win.”
Earlier, Messi and his former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets had their first training session at Inter Miami. The newcomers did running work with the rest of the team.
The Ukrainian defender Sergey Krivtsov plays in Miami. Inter is owned by David Beckham, a former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Milan, PSG and England player.
Inter Miami closes the standings of the MLS Eastern Conference, gaining 18 points in 22 matches. The team will play the next match in the League Cup with the Mexican Cruz Azul on July 22.
