Sources: Messi on hiatus for next 2 Miami games

Sources close to Inter Miami CF have revealed that Lionel Messi will be taking a brief hiatus from professional football for the next two games, as the Argentinian superstar and his teammate Rodrigo De Paul look to recharge before rejoining the MLS side for the remainder of the season.

The decision comes after Messi and De Paul played crucial roles in Argentina's FIFA World Cup campaign, which ultimately ended in heartbreak for the South American nation. The duo's involvement in the tournament has left them with a physical and emotional toll, and it's been deemed necessary for them to take a temporary break to ensure they're both physically and mentally prepared to contribute to Inter Miami CF's push for a successful season.

As the team prepares to face New York City FC and Orlando City SC in their next two fixtures, fans can expect to see a combination of veteran players and younger talent taking the field in Messi's absence. With the Argentine's immense influence on the team, his return will undoubtedly be a significant boost to Inter Miami CF's chances of success, and fans will be eagerly anticipating his comeback.

While the timing of Messi's return is yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that he will be back in action for Inter Miami CF's next game following the two-game hiatus, providing a much-needed injection of star power to the team's lineup.
