The owners of Inter Miami had likely hoped that their players would enjoy participating in friendly matches in various locations around the world. However, it appears that the pre-season tour has turned into a nightmare for the team. The Herons have now faced their sixth injury concern, adding to the fitness issues of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Fans had been confident that La Pulga and his teammates would qualify for the MLS playoffs without any problems this season. Unfortunately, it seems that the challenge is becoming increasingly troublesome with each passing day.
Many experts in the media believed that these lucrative friendly tours would bring financial benefits to Inter Miami. It is undeniable that this prediction has proven to be correct. However, in the pursuit of earning money, the team is losing players one by one. Following the injury concerns of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, another star player has now joined the treatment table. According to journalist Michelle Kaufman, 25-year-old forward Robbie Robinson has returned to the US to receive treatment for his calf injury.
For Inter Miami fans who may be wondering, Robbie Robinson had to leave the tour at some point due to a calf injury.
It is still unclear whether this calf injury is serious or not. To make matters worse for the Inter Miami fans, there has been yet another injury issue after Robbie Robinson. Star midfielder [name] suffered an injury during the friendly match against Vissel Kobe in the 25th minute. He was seen limping towards the tunnel, indicating that he may have sustained an ankle injury.
It will be interesting to see how the Herons handle these two latest injuries in the short term. As for the other five injured players, the outlook does not look promising for most of them. The condition of several injured Inter Miami stars is far from ideal. The primary concern remains with Lionel Messi. Currently, his thigh inflammation injury does not appear to be serious, as he played for the last seven minutes against Al Nassr. On the other hand, Luis Suarez started the match against Vissel Kobe, suggesting that he has fully recovered from his knee inflammation issue. However, the medical staff will closely monitor him due to his injury history.
Meanwhile, Argentinian forward Facundo Farias will be out for the season as he begins his recovery from an ACL injury. Star midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi will also require 2-3 months of recovery after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia injury. More information is expected regarding the situation of injured center-back Serhiy Kryvtsov, who sustained an injury in the friendly against Hong Kong XI.
These updates indicate that Inter Miami may be without the services of several of their star players. Will Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez be fit for the first game of the MLS season? Share your thoughts in the comments.
