Leo Messi and Sergio Busquets start this Friday as substitutes in his first game with Inter Miami.

The Argentine coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino did not include his two star reinforcements already available in his starting eleven, since Jordi Alba, whose signing was announced this Thursday, is not yet ready to enter the call-up.

Inter Miami receives this Friday at the DRV PNK Stadium the Mexican Cruz Azul on the opening day of the Leagues Cup, a new tournament in which all the MLS AND Liga MX teams compete.

The expectation surrounding this match is enormous since Messi, even if he is a replacement, is expected to play his first minutes in the pink Inter Miami shirt.

For his part, Busquets already announced on Thursday at a press conference the possibility that he would not start from the start in his first meeting with the Florida team.

“I’m fine physically, I feel fine. But I also need a period of adaptation and it is clear that playing 90 minutes now would be practically impossible so the coach will decide from there”, said the Spanish midfielder.

He Inter Miami faces the Leagues Cup with the urgency of straightening its course in 2023 since in the MLS he is bottom of the East (18 points after 22 games) and accumulates eleven games without knowing the victory (three draws and eight losses).
