Javier Mascherano stated that there is no secret method for maintaining Lionel Messi's fitness as injuries impact Inter Miami. Messi has played continuous matches but has faced muscle complaints. Mascherano expressed a desire to rest Messi to preserve his health, particularly with the team's injury concerns. Miami is addressing these issues by potentially signing Atletico Madrid's Rodrigo De Paul on loan, enabling deeper squad depth while avoiding salary cap constraints. De Paul emphasized his wish to play over financial compensation, seeking a team where he feels valued.
"We have to find a way to rest and still compete and win. There's no secret formula for that," Mascherano said.
"Next will be to obtain those three points against New York and hopefully get more of our injured players healthy."
"At one point I told Racing, 'I just want to play the Copa Libertadores. Don't pay me.' I wasn't looking for money. I just wanted to be in a place where I felt wanted."
