Inter Miami head coach expressed concern over another injury setback as midfielder Diego Gómez suffered an ankle lesion during the team's recent match against Nashville SC. The severity of the injury is yet to be determined as Gómez underwent examinations at the hospital following the incident.
With Gómez becoming the ninth player sidelined due to injuries, including key players like Jordi Alba and Facundo Farias, Martino highlighted the challenges posed by Major League Soccer's roster restrictions. The coach emphasized the need for a full roster to navigate through the season effectively.
Despite the injury setbacks, Inter Miami currently leads the Supporters' Shield rankings, showcasing a significant improvement from the previous season when they missed out on the MLS playoffs. Martino emphasized the importance of accumulating points early in the season to alleviate pressure in the latter stages.
Lionel Messi's stellar performance, with nine goals and eight assists in nine games across all competitions, has been instrumental in Miami's recent success. Messi's partnership with Sergio Busquets, resulting in Busquets' first goal for the team, further solidified Miami's position at the top of the league standings.
Reflecting on the team's recent victories, Busquets expressed gratitude for Messi's contribution and stressed the importance of continuous hard work to achieve their objectives both on and off the field.
Inter Miami's resilience in the face of injuries and their strong performance on the field indicate a promising season ahead as they strive to maintain their current form and secure a spot in the playoffs.
