MLS club Houston Dynamo has issued an apology to their fans because Lionel Messi won’t be on the Inter Miami squad for their game on Sunday night.In their utterly bizarre statement, the Dynamo indicated that they believed Leo would be fit to play before the player status report indicated he wouldn’t be present there. “The recently shared player status report for the match did not include forward Lionel Messi, but it has been reported he did not make the trip to Houston,” the team statement read. “Unfortunately, we have no control over who plays for our opponent.”pic.twitter.com/npb9kK2Whq— Houston Dynamo FC (@HoustonDynamo) March 2, 2025 Last year, Messi sat out an Inter Miami road trip to Vancouver, which the resident Whitecaps discovered only after Miami were already on their way. They issued an apology and offered the record crowd 50% off all food and drink at the game. Chicago Fire gave fans vouchers for future games after Messi’s injury in the Copa America final meant he missed the teams’ match at Soldier Field in August.Houston Dynamo also promised free tickets to a future match to all in attendance due to Messi’s absence.##NAJAVA_MECA_8745457##
