Inter Miami CF's head coach, Javier Mascherano, confirmed that Lionel Messi will travel with the team to Jamaica for an important Concacaf Champions Cup match. Messi had missed the last three matches due to load management, a strategy to prevent potential injuries during a congested early season schedule. Mascherano noted that Messi trained well and will decide whether he starts or substitutes during the game. Miami, leading 2-0 from the first leg, welcomes back defender Maxi Falcon and remains cautiously optimistic about the upcoming match despite the challenging conditions.
Messi will travel with the team to Jamaica after missing three matches for load management, and his participation will be decided before the game.
Mascherano emphasized that Messi's absence was for rest, not injury, citing a packed schedule and the aim to prevent future injuries.
The team's preparation includes a return to the lineup for defender Maxi Falcon, while they hold a 2-0 advantage going into the second leg.
