Messi Faces Potential Ban from Inter Miami Match Due to MLS All-Star Absence
Lionel Messi could face a suspension from playing for Inter Miami after reportedly violating Major League Soccer regulations. The issue centers around his absence from the MLS All-Star training sessions, raising concerns over whether he will participate in the high-profile match against the Liga MX All-Stars. According to league rules, players selected for the All-Star game must participate unless they are officially ruled out due to injury.
Messi's no-show so far has drawn attention and may result in disciplinary action. If he fails to take part in the All-Star game without a valid medical excuse, he could be banned from featuring in Inter Miami’s next league match. This would be a significant blow for the club, especially with a challenging fixture against FC Cincinnati scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
The situation echoes past incidents in MLS, such as when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was handed a one-game suspension for skipping the All-Star game in 2018. Alongside Messi, Jordi Alba is also reported to have missed training sessions with the All-Star squad, raising further questions about compliance with league policies. The All-Star match is an important showcase for MLS, making participation a key expectation for selected players.
While fans were hoping to see Messi share the field with the league’s top talent, his absence has sparked debate about player responsibilities and league consistency. As of now, Messi remains eligible, but unless his status changes before the match, MLS could enforce its rules, leaving Inter Miami without their star player in a crucial domestic fixture.
