As Inter Miami, prepare for probably the most essential matches in their short history Monterrey During the Concacaf Champions Cup, they face an issue that’s becoming common knowledge. Will be Lionel Messi be available?
The Argentine returned to training for the Herons, but manager Tata Martino still didn’t hide his availability the day before the match.
“We will determine [his role] Tomorrow. Today I do not know, but he trained. We’re still defining it, we still have 24 hours,” Martino said according to media availability on Tuesday. “Leo is injured and we have to manage his minutes. We have an important match tomorrow, but we have to think that we are just starting in April.
“For us, this is all just beginning and we cannot jeopardize the conditions of our players. Basically, we’ll figure out what’s best for Leo and every other player and then we’ll make the right decisions.”
He has been absent since being withdrawn in the fiftieth minute against Liverpool in the Champions Cup Nashville South Carolina March 13 marked almost a month since Messi played football. He might be needed to beat Monterrey, however the Herons may even need to watch out not to place an excessive amount of pressure on him, which further aggravates his current injury in the opposite moments Martino mentions.

Plot
Inter Miami: With Messi’s return, Nicolas Freire also returned to training. On loan from Puma, Freire has experience with Monterrey that would help the Herons. WITH Federico Redondo also injured, there may even be changes in the midfield, but Messi’s availability might be key. When he plays, Miami often wins. When he doesn’t do that, they’re quite at risk of their opposition. It’s so easy.
Monterrey: Brandon Vazquez has challenged Monterrey with five goals in all competitions, but he is not even the largest threat Miami must be frightened about. Striker Germain Berterame has five goals and two assists in all competitions this season, and Monterrey has probably the most dangerous attacks in all of Concacaf. The complete team will give Inter Miami every thing they’ll handle after which some in this match.
Forecast
While Messi will return to motion, rust will to point out in this game, while Miami allowed a frustrating away goal while dropping points at home. To select: Inter Miami 1, Monterrey 1
