国际迈阿密回覆本台查询，对美斯没有出赛表示非常抱歉，并解释迟迟未公布他缺阵的原因。

【英译中回覆全文】

国际迈阿密非常荣幸能够访港。这两天内的公开训练和对阵港队的赛事，受到近80,000人的热烈欢迎，这份超乎想象的热情，球队和球员将铭记于心。

尽管我们是出于好意，但我们明白美斯和苏亚雷斯缺阵周日的比赛，让观众失望，对此非常抱歉。

我们明白这个临时决定，令香港球迷和活动主办方Tatler Asia失望，但我们必须强调无可奈可，「伤患」是这项美妙运动的其中一环，我们永远将球员的健康放在首位。我们还想向你保证，正如美斯周二在东京的新闻发布会上也提到，我们的球员一直希望上场比赛。

周日，我们在赛事期间才作出这个决定，是为了在时间上争取最大可能，让这两名球员有机会被挑选上阵。我们始终希望让他们上场比赛，因此赛前提交给主办方的初步上阵名单中，两人都榜上有名。我们本可以之前就排除这两名球员，但我们决定等到最后一刻，反映我们竭尽全力，希望兑现承诺的初心。

赛前美斯没有上场热身，因为他仍在更衣室接受伤患评估。评估指，他上场比赛有风险，最终考虑两名球员的状态，要求两人都不得参赛，以免对他们的健康构成风险。

我们要对Tatler Asia致以感谢，感谢他们致力让我们在香港的旅程变得丰富。筹备团队竭尽所能，举办精彩的活动，然而足球比赛中，球员受伤无可避免。这是美妙的足球运动中，残酷的一面，也影响我们的香港之行。我们继续关注不同利益持份者的负面评论时，我们感到有必要再次重申，这会令球员受伤是事实。

香港是世界级的目的地，也是一个绝佳的足球比赛场地。这座城市出色的交通网络，容易吸引来自整个地区的观众，也拥有充满热情的足球迷，对这场比赛着迷。如果「粉丝」愿意再次接受球队到访，国际迈阿密将非常乐意，在未来返回美丽的香港。

Inter Miami CF is honored to have been able to visit Hong Kong. To be welcomed by nearly 80,000 people in a two-day span, between the Club’s open training session and the match against the Hong Kong Team, was extraordinary and something our Club and our players will always remember.

Despite our best intentions, we understand there has been disappointment over the absence of Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez in Sunday’s match and we are sorry that the two players could not participate. We also recognize that the late decision caused frustration among our Hong Kong supporters and the event promoter, Tatler Asia. We do feel it necessary to express that injuries are unfortunately a part of the beautiful game, and our player’s health must always come first. We also want to reassure you that the players that represent our Club always want to play, as you heard from Messi in Tuesday’s press conference in Tokyo.

On Sunday, the Club opted to make a game-time decision. Doing this offered the largest window of time to allow for the chance that the two players could be made available for selection. The goal was always for them to play, which was why they were both included in the initial roster that was submitted to the promoter prior to the match. We could have ruled out the players before but with our best intentions we waited until the last moments, which further emphasizes our commitment to try everything possible. 

Messi did not go out to warm up because he was still being assessed in the locker room prior to the match. From there, it was deemed too risky for him to play. Ultimately, the circumstances required that both players be withheld from participating in the match, as the medical staff advised it would have been a risk to their health.

We want to express our gratitude to Tatler Asia for their dedication and hard work in making our Hong Kong experience possible. The organizers did everything they could to put on a wonderful event, yet players get injured in football and this is no one's fault. It is one part of the beautiful game that is cruel, and impacted our visit to Hong Kong on this occasion. As we continue to consume the headlines and negativity towards the different stakeholders, we felt compelled to reiterate the reality of these types of sports injuries.

Hong Kong is a world class destination and a wonderful venue to play football as it can easily draw in people from all over the region given its amazing transport links. It is also full of passionate football supporters who love the game. Inter Miami would be eager to return to beautiful Hong Kong in the future, should the fans be open to receiving the Club again.
