Impact Messi exited early from Wednesday's match against Toronto, limping off the field, and will miss Saturday's match after Tata Martino ruled him out with fatugue. Martino stated, "I don't believe it's anything new or anything worse than what they have. It's fatigue. I don't think it's a muscular injury." It does not seem to a very serious knock but is very obvious that Martino is prioritizing the U.S. Open Cup and does not want to risk running Messi into the ground after ruling him out for the weekend. Either Leonardo Campana or Nicolas Stefanelli will start against Orlando with Messi sidelined.
