Lionel Messi will miss at least seven games for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer next season.

Messi completed his first season with Miami in November, where the club finished 14th in the Eastern Conference standings and missed out on the play-offs. The Argentina legend scored 11 goals in his 14 appearances after signing for the club in June as a free agent, following his exit from Paris Saint-Germain.




The 2024 MLS season is due to get underway in February, as Messi prepares for his first full campaign in the United States. However, before the season has already begun, Miami will be aware that their star player will be absent for at least seven games.

This is due to Messi being likely to have commitments with the Argentina national team throughout 2024. As a result, Messi will be absent from the Miami squad while he features for his country in their respective matches.

The Copa America takes place this summer across June and July, where Messi will be looking to help Argentina win another major title after the World Cup triumph in 2022. Messi will therefore miss at least five MLS games for Miami while the tournament is taking place.

Those five games will come from June 15 to July 6 and will include matchups against Philadelphia Union, Colombus Crew, Nashville SC, Charlotte FC, and FC Cincinnati.

Messi and Argentina have three group games against Chile, Peru, and another team that is yet to qualify. The final for the Copa America is on July 14, just three days before Miami hosts Toronto at the DRV PNK Stadium in MLS.
