In recent weeks, the permanence of Rodolfo Pizarro at Inter Miami in Major League Soccer it has been the subject of speculation. Some versions state that the player will return to Liga MX with Monterrey or Guadalajara and that this change is a matter of a few days. But this Thursday, coach Phil Neville debunked these versions with a forceful assertion.
“No, there is no (possibility of Pizarro being transferred), and I am going to stop him there, because there is no possibility that Rodolfo will leave this club,” said the Miami manager. “He is an Inter Miami player. He is injured at the moment. We cannot stop the speculation, but the speculation of why he is not playing is because he is injured, and he left with Mexico and is injured,” he clarified.
“So I’m not going to answer any more questions about Rodolfo Pizarro. I think I have spoken and told you many times that he is a big part of what we want to do here and he is happy here. He will be a great Inter Miami player.”
The rumors about Pizarro could be a consequence of his absence from the courts since May 16, in a season without goals and with just one assist in 378 minutes of play. But the reality, according to Neville, is that the Mexican is in recovery due to a hip and adductor injury that has afflicted him for more than three weeks and has also been marginalized from the activity with the Mexican National Team.
“The boy is injured. Let’s not read too much of the speculation that any of you are writing about: he is injured,” Neville stressed.
“He’s been injured for three and a half weeks, he hasn’t been on the pitch for three and a half weeks, so we have to get him back in top shape, we have to get him back and make sure he’s not in pain, then it will be a great Inter Miami player, “he said.
Neville announced that the Mexican player will not be this Saturday for the duel against DC United with which his team returns to league activity after the FIFA date and reiterated that there are no hidden readings in his absence.
