Messi Enjoys Vacation After Copa America Triumph, Misses MLS All-Star Game Due to Injury

Lionel Messi, the legendary Argentine footballer, is currently enjoying a well-deserved vacation in Florida with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and Inter Miami teammate, Luis Suarez. The trio has been spotted on a boat, soaking up the sun and sharing smiles for the camera.

Messi's vacation comes after Argentina's triumph at the Copa America 2024, where he played a pivotal role in securing the team's third consecutive major title. However, the 37-year-old is still recovering from a right ankle injury sustained during the final match against Colombia.

Due to the injury, Messi will miss Wednesday's Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star Game, along with Suarez, who is experiencing knee discomfort. The MLS roster for the match against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars has been updated to reflect their absence.

Inter Miami has provided details on the injuries, stating that Messi is still sidelined after missing two MLS matches last week. Suarez, who recently returned from international duty, will also sit out the All-Star Game due to knee discomfort.

This would have been Messi's first MLS All-Star appearance since joining Inter Miami last July. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has been instrumental in Miami's success, leading them to the inaugural Leagues Cup crown last year.

However, Messi and Suarez's availability for Saturday's home match against Mexico's Puebla remains uncertain. Inter Miami has stated that their status will be determined by their "daily recovery process."

Despite the injuries, Messi remains a key figure for Inter Miami and Argentina. His presence on the field has been a major boost for both teams, and fans eagerly await his return to action.
