Inter Miami is set to face Sporting Kansas City this Tuesday in their final preseason match, but Lionel Messi is reportedly not keen on participating.
Messi Doesn’t Want to Play in Freezing Kansas
According to MiaTotalFootball, the Argentine legend has requested to be excused from the match due to extreme weather conditions, with temperatures expected to drop to -12°C (-24°C with wind chill).
Miami Attempts to Postpone the Match
The Florida club has even tried to have the game postponed or relocated to avoid the harsh conditions. However, with just five days left before the official MLS season kicks off—where Inter Miami will host New York on Saturday—such a request seems difficult to fulfill.
