"It's a handicap when you don't have the best player in the world," Inter Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets said.The nature of Messi's leg problem remains unclear. Fatigue was originally cited for Messi's absences, and Martino eventually said last week that the problem stems from scar tissue from a previous injury. Messi was seen stretching at times during the Sept. 20 match, as if to indicate he was having some sort of muscular issue.
Inter Miami is still very much alive in the race to make Major League Soccer's playoffs and has three matches looming in the coming days. The team plays host to New York City FC on Saturday, at Chicago on Oct. 4 and returns home to face Cincinnati on Oct. 7.Martino indicated that any decision on Messi's availability for those upcoming MLS matches will be made after Wednesday.
