Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas has confessed he is worried Lionel Messi’s frustrated response to being issued a one-game suspension for missing the All-Star Game could impact the Argentina international’s thoughts on signing a new contract.
Messi and teammate Jordi Alba will be forced to miss Saturday’s FC Cincinnati match after skipping the annual event, for which they were both selected, as a result of a Major League Soccer rule relating to unauthorized absences from the All-Star Game.
