Messi is expected to make his return against Cavalier in what will be his first-ever match in Jamaica. The game will be crucial as Inter Miami looks to secure a spot in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarter-finals.
While his participation is not yet confirmed, Messi is expected to get some minutes on the pitch. However, given Miami’s two-goal advantage from the first leg, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him start on the bench, as has been the case in recent games.
