Lionel Messi to Miss Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup Match Against Columbus: How to Watch Live in India
New Delhi: Lionel Messi will be sidelined for Inter Miami’s upcoming Leagues Cup Round of 16 clash with the Columbus Crew on Tuesday. The Argentine superstar continues to recover from a right ankle injury he sustained during the Copa America final against Colombia a month ago. Despite removing his walking boot, Messi has not yet returned to full training with his Miami teammates and is not expected to be risked for this crucial match.
Inter Miami, the defending champions of the Leagues Cup, advanced to this stage following a narrow 4-3 victory over Toronto. Last year, Messi played a key role in securing the inaugural title for Miami, but the team will now face the reigning MLS champions, Columbus Crew, without their star player. This match is one of eight fixtures determining the quarter-final pairings.
In the first match of the round of 16, the Seattle Sounders delivered a dominant performance, defeating Pumas 4-0. Paul Rothrock, Jordan Morris, and Albert Rusnak were standout performers, with Rusnak scoring twice, including a penalty.
The round of 16 continues with other notable matches: Philadelphia Union vs. FC Cincinnati, Cruz Azul vs. Mazatlán, Tigres vs. New York City FC, Toluca vs. Colorado Rapids, and Club América vs. St. Louis City.
For fans in India, the match will be available for live streaming on [relevant streaming platforms], with specific time and channel details [to be provided].
