Lionel Messi can face the ban on the Zlatan Ibrahimovic rule ignored

Lionel Messi faces the prospect of a prohibition in the midst of speculation that he will influence a strict MLS rule that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has also violated.

The MLS All-Stars should face Liga MX All-Stars on July 24 at 2:00 am GMT, but Messi has not yet trained with the team before the match

His latest appearance occurred in the 5-1 dismantling of Inter Miami of the New York Red Bulls, when he put another splint.

There are 26 MLS players in the team for the friendly match, notably Hirving Lozano, Jordi Alba and Diego Rossi, but the Boss MLS are desperate that Messi present.

As one of the biggest players of all time, the Argentinian is the key to the organizers who try to attract more fans to the event.

However, if the 38 -year -old does not play, he can be touched by a suspension of a match for Inter Miami in accordance with the rules of MLS.

The MLS All-Stars coach Nico Estevez has already been questioned about the absence of the former Barcelona of the training star.

He said: “I don’t know. This question should be asked to MLS officials.

“I’m just coach of the players they give me. Of course, I would like him to play.

“It would be a pleasure to work, even if it is only for a short period, with the greatest of all time.”

Before the All-Stars match, MLS Skills Challenge also takes place, where players take a range of skills-related games.

Messi was not present for this event, nor will attend the MLS ALL-STAR Media Day.

What did Zlatan Ibrahimovic do?

Ibrahimovic withdrew from the game in 2018, while he was playing for the Galaxy.

The club based in Los Angeles said that when they were playing three games that week, that would involve too many trips for the Swedish if he went to Atlanta for the match.

Ibrahimovic had scored 15 goals in 17 games at this stage of the season, so his absence was a hard blow for the event organizers.

But the former Manchester United striker has prioritized his club form.

He said: “I am disappointed to miss the 2018 star match against Juventus, one of my former clubs.

“I would like to thank fans for voting to the team. My main goal is to score goals and help the galaxy with the playoffs.”

According to the rules of the MLS, he was forced to sit on the next match of the Galaxy against the rapids of Colorado.
