What happened: An MRI confirmed the injury after Micael exited Wednesday's Leagues Cup match. He will rest from sporting activities under the club medical staff's supervision.

Why it matters: The absence reduces Inter Miami's defensive options as Lionel Messi prepares for the MLS schedule to resume. Micael's loan runs through the 2026 season and includes a permanent-transfer option.

What to watch: His clinical and athletic progress will determine when he can gradually rejoin team training.
