Messi no-show prompts Houston Dynamo to issue apology and free tickets
Briefly

Houston Dynamo issued an apology to fans after it was revealed that Lionel Messi would not be part of Inter Miami’s traveling roster for their match. The club had anticipated Messi's appearance based on the absence of an injury listing on the player status report. While Messi is not injured, he was held out by head coach Javier Mascherano due to an intense schedule. To compensate for fans' disappointment, the Dynamo offered free tickets for a future match to those who attended the game.
We deeply apologize to our fans for Lionel Messi’s absence in the traveling party for Sunday’s match, and we will offer free tickets to a future match.
Our assumption was based on Inter Miami's player status report, that Messi was fit enough to play. Unfortunately, we are not in control of opponent rosters.
