Inter Miami Rests Messi and De Paul After 2026 World Cup Final Run
Inter Miami is resting key players Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul following Argentina's 2026 FIFA World Cup final appearance. Messi, who scored eight goals and provided four assists during the tournament, and De Paul are being given recovery time in line with FIFA and FIFPRO player welfare guidelines. The club has not confirmed their return dates but expects both to rejoin around August 5. Their absence affects upcoming matches against Chicago Fire FC, CF Montréal, and possibly Columbus Crew as the team manages their workload post-World Cup.
