“Messi is available,” Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said Friday before the team's training session. Martino did not reveal if Messi would start, enter the game as a substitute or if there's a plan for a minutes restriction.

Messi had missed nine consecutive MLS matches and 15 matches overall this season, yet the team still has the top mark in the league and has wrapped up a playoff berth.
