Appears less than fully fit Messi logged one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in 34 minutes as a substitute, but he appeared to struggle physically during Saturday's...

Impact Messi was granted permission to travel to Spain midweek, so he missed training sessions with his club and was only used as an emergency substitute when they were in need of an equalizer. His absence from team work helps explain why the forward was not in the starting lineup Saturday, but it's likely he'll continue to build his fitness levels so that he's in top shape for the playoffs. Riquelme Fillipi wasted an opportunity to show his skills against the Red Bulls and will likely head back to the bench to allow for Messi's inclusion in subsequent contests.

Impact Messi was a surprising omission from the starting lineup Saturday, though no official reasons were provided for his absence, and he's still on the bench. Not having Messi will be a huge blow for Inter Miami, as he has 25 goals and 12 assists in 27 appearances (26 starts) this season. Riquelme Fillipi will take his place in the XI.
