Lionel Messi's potential MLS debut for Inter Miami is in doubt this weekend, with manager Gerardo Martino warning he may be forced to take a break.
Messi could be rested for game: Following a blistering start to life with the Herons, Messi had been expected to make his league bow for Miami in their road game against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
But after notching up more than 650 minutes since his first game in the Leagues Cup last month, his manager has acknowledged the veteran 36-year-old could need to take a pause.: "We will assess further after this evening's training," the Argentine said on Messi during a press conference on Friday. "It is inevitable that we will not have him at some point.""I understand the expectations the rest of the world has to watch him, and that is undeniable.
