Inter Miami will be without Argentina World Cup finalists Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul for the team’s Wednesday night home match against the Chicago Fire as MLS action resumes.
The tournament’s Silver Ball and Silver Boot winner and the defensive midfield veteran have been granted a slight vacation after falling short of winning a second World Cup title with La Albiceleste on Sunday. According to ESPN, the two are taking advantage of the 21-day rest period as negotiated by FIFAPro, an option not all MLS players who were at the World Cup have taken.
