Lionel Messi was suspended for a game after being excluded from MLS All-Star without prior approval, said the United States League on Friday.
The midfielder between Miami and his teammate Jordi Alba did not compete on Wednesday, although they were not injured, even if they were included in the All-Star list.
“According to the rules of the championship, any player who does not participate in the All-Star match without the previous approval of the championship will not be able to compete in the next game of his club,” Mls said in a note.
The suspension will make them lose the start of Inter Miami against FC Cincinnati on Saturday. So far Messi has scored 18 goals this season.
Messi rested this week, according to the Inter coach Miami Javier Mascherano.
“See, the players always feel discomfort, especially when they play every three days,” said Mascherano to Espn.
