“It Is Irresponsible” – Lionel Messi’s Injury Rumors Dismantled by Popular Journalist With a Stringent Reality Check

Lionel Messi was ruled out of the Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo. Inter Miami lost their talisman to an injury he faced during the World Cup qualifiers. Having to bench two of their best summer signings saw the trophy being clinched by their rivals. Gerardo Martino’s decision saw a lot of backlash from supporters and critics alike. Citing the backlash, a journalist shared his opinion as to why it was right for Messi to not start the game.

The decision to bench him in both the MLS game and the Open Cup didn’t sit well with the fans. However, more focus should be put on the seriousness of Messi’s injury.

Inter Miami needs other players to rely on

Lionel Messi has been an incredible signing for Inter Miami. The Florida-based club’s dynamism has changed since Messi’s arrival. But one needs to accept that he too is a human despite his unworldly feats. Gaston Edul, the popular journalist working with Tyc Sports, Argentina sheds more light into why benching him was the responsible call.

Gaston Edul comments on Messi’s injury as he said, “If Messi’s entourage, the medical team of Argentina National Team, and the Inter Miami staff say that he’s suffering from a scar from an old injury he had, then it is irresponsible for someone to say something other than that.”

Edul further added, “His lack of participation is more for prevention, than for injury because it could get worse if he does not feel ready to participate.” A prolonged injury could have affected Messi’s future as a soccer player.

Lionel Messi wants to return to Argentina

Lionel Messi has decided to forego retirement in Miami and pursue a return to his roots at Newell’s Old Boys.
