Due to an ankle injury Messi will miss the upcoming MLS

Unfortunately, Lionel Messi will not be able to participate in the upcoming MLS All-Star games because of an ankle injury he suffered during the Copa America final. The 37-year-old, who recently joined Miami in July 2023, has been ruled out as one of the unavailable players for the match in Columbus, Ohio. Since his arrival at Inter Miami, Messi has been in incredible form, scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists in just 12 games. This outstanding performance has made him the fastest player to reach 25 goal contributions in a single MLS season.

The decision for Messi to sit out of the All-Star games is a precautionary measure to ensure his long-term fitness and recovery from the ankle injury. Despite his absence, fans and teammates alike are eagerly awaiting his return to the pitch to witness more of his exceptional skills and contributions to the team. Messi’s impact on the MLS has been nothing short of remarkable, and his absence from the upcoming games will undoubtedly be felt. However, his health and well-being are the top priority, and everyone is hopeful for his speedy recovery and return to action.
