“He twisted his ankle, and the injury is present so tests are needed and wait for results. I’ve had the opportunity to see other images. There will be tests done to determine the severity of the situation. We are always informed through our kinesiologist Walter Insaurralde, who is also the kinesiologist of the national team. He is very cautious at giving a final diagnosis before results are in,” said Miami Coach Martino to reporters on Tuesday.
Inter Miami will host Toronto FC on Wednesday night and Chicago Fire on Saturday night before beginning the defense of its Leagues Cup title on July 27 with their captain ruled out for these games.
