Whitecaps fans frustrated superstar Messi will miss game in Vancouver

Marc DeLuca and his wife had the perfect sixth birthday gift for their son, Jack – tickets to see Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF play the Whitecaps in Vancouver.

Miami – the top team in the Major League Soccer standings with a 9-2-4 record – also opted to keep Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez and Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets in Florida. “We obviously understand the frustration of the people wanting to watch these players play. We as coaches sometimes have to make these very difficult football decisions. But we always have to keep in mind the players’ health first.”

“But it’s not a complaint,” he said. “We understand in our specific case that the players that we’re talking about are very important for everyone. But the health of these players is the priority.” MLS issued a statement Friday saying it will “continue to review measures regarding how clubs report player availability.”

Saturday won’t be the first time Messi has missed an MLS game this season. Fans in Orlando, New York and Washington were also disappointed when the World Cup winner didn’t play road games in their cities.
