Inter Miami’s fans leave before half time after Messi’s injury

Some Inter Miami fans have been caught on camera heading for the exits at DRV PNK Stadium after Lionel Messi being replaced.

The game had not even reached half-time by that point.

Inter Miami went on to win 4-0 and kept themselves in the hunt for a play-off berth.

But it remains to be seen when Messi will be called upon again as Martino has already ruled him out of a derby date with Orlando City on Sunday.

A U.S. Open Cup final clash with the Houston Dynamo is set to take place next Wednesday, with Messi and Co setting their sights on more major silverware.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was returned to Tata Martino’s starting XI for a meeting with Toronto FC on Wednesday.

He lasted just 37 minutes of that contest before being forced off with a recurrence of the injury that he picked up while on World Cup qualifying duty with Argentina.
