Inter Miami’s star player, Lionel Messi, is set to miss the upcoming fixtures for the club after sustaining an injury to his right ankle during the 2024 Copa América final.
The Argentine forward, a cornerstone of Inter Miami’s lineup, was confirmed to have suffered ligament damage, as disclosed by Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino on Tuesday.
Following comprehensive medical assessments, Inter Miami released a statement detailing Messi’s injury status, indicating that his availability for upcoming matches will hinge on ongoing evaluations and the progress of his recovery.
This setback comes at a crucial juncture for Inter Miami, who are scheduled to face Toronto FC on Wednesday night and Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
Moreover, Messi’s absence will impact Inter Miami’s preparations as they gear up to defend their Leagues Cup title, with their first match in the competition scheduled for July 27 against Puebla.
The club’s coaching staff and supporters alike will be monitoring Messi’s recovery closely, hopeful for a swift return to full fitness and form.
Despite the setback, Inter Miami remains determined to navigate through their upcoming challenges with resilience and adaptability, aiming to maintain their competitive edge in the MLS and beyond.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Messi’s recovery journey, with anticipation building for his eventual return to the pitch for Inter Miami.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
