Will Lionel Messi Play?

Lionel Messi is not expected to play in this match. Messi is still recovering from an injury that he suffered while playing for Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers.

Messi has not played for Inter Miami since March 11, 2024, when he scored a goal in a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution.

If Messi does not play, it will be a big blow to Inter Miami. Messi is the team's best player and his absence will be felt.
