Inter Miami will face Pumas UNAM on Wednesday without Lionel Messi, who is recovering from a minor muscle injury. Coach Javier Mascherano confirmed that the star won't be available and emphasized that Messi usually recovers quickly but won’t be rushed back.

In the 11th minute, Lionel Messi needed to be substituted out due to an injury. This is Inter Miami's second group stage game of the Leagues Cup this year, and now the team will be without its most important player for the rest of the tournament.
