In addition to playing in the regular season of MLS, he will also be involved in the Club World Cup, and will soon face the commitment of the Leagues Cup, a tournament in which MLS and Liga MX teams will participate. However, the Argentine star doesn&#8217;t have much time off and was selected for the All-Star Game in Austin, Texas on July 23rd, making it a dynamic &#8220;skill challenge&#8221; the day before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion ue-c-article__media-video-responsive ue-c-article__media-video-responsive--16-9\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Cole Palmer was tired of Donald Trump celebrating with them<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Messi travels to Texas to participate in the All-Star Game<\/h2>\n<p>Javier Mascherano knows he can give his opinion on Lionel Messi&#8217;s participation in the All-Star Game, but he knows that it&#8217;s not his decision in the end. &#8220;Players will be called, I want them to rest, but that&#8217;s not my decision. I know how important the All-Star Game is. As far as I know, there are no decisions from the club. Everything continues normally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After some amazing activities they&#8217;ve done over the past two months, Intermiami will face the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night. The team will step up MLS&#8217; regular season involvement and make up for a postponed match after Intermiami finished second in the group stage and lost to Palisen Jermen after reaching the final 16 after participating in the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Injuries are causing Miami<\/h2>\n<p>Mascano expressed concern about the number of matches after goalkeeper Oscar Ustali was forced to leave the field during the week&#8217;s match against FC Cincinnati and was replaced by Rocco Rios Novo. &#8220;I&#8217;m not an expert when it comes to injuries. Ultimately, I&#8217;m very worried as the team has spent all seasons with a lot of muscle injuries. That&#8217;s the main details of the huge amount of games we&#8217;ve allocated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The coach later said Ustali was injured, but he still doesn&#8217;t know how long he will take action. &#8220;The strength of the games we played in the last month and a half was very high, especially because the team is clearly getting a little bit worse with injuries,&#8221; concluded the Argentine coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2025\/07\/19\/687b8813ca4741f5128b45e5.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a A few days before the All-Star Game for MLS players and La Liga MX stars, Intermiami head coach Javier Mascherano said he prefers not to be part of a US league team due to the many games Lionel Messi played, showing that players should rest in the middle of the regular season.
