Messi gives in to fatigue in the Inter Miami match, he asks for substitution in the first half

Lionel Messi had missed an MLS match due to muscle fatigue. In the previous night's game he was substituted in the 37th minute.

Inter Miami will have to learn life without Lionel Messi. After winning 5-2 at Atlanta United in the absence of its Argentine master, the club from Florida is worried.

Lionel Messi actually came off the game in the 37th minute during the match against Toronto that ended in a 4-0 win for Miami.

The player suffered from muscle fatigue last week and clearly did not recover as he asked to be replaced himself, handing the captain's armband to American defender DeAndre Yedlin.

Even with Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers, the 36-year-old missed the match against Bolivia.
