FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will host Toronto FC on Sunday Night Soccer, but how much will Messi play tonight?
Inter Miami will end MLS Matchday 7 this weekend in the MLS and Apple TV’s Sunday showcase. As one of the best teams in the league, they’re going to face a team near the bottom of the standings. And it’s imperative they play efficiently without injury with heir eyes set on a big match Wednesday.
After Inter Miami hosts Toronto, they’ll host LAFC in the second leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal matchup. LAFC leads 1-0 on aggregate score after the first leg last Wednesday. The tournament is one of five trophies Inter Miami will compete for this year.
Messi was unable to convert on three free kick opportunities during the first LAFC match, showing signs he may not be quite as sharp as he’s been in his legendary career, coming off a recent adductor strain in his left quad.
Messi could use some work against Toronto, whether he starts and plays about 60 minutes or comes off the bench to play the final 30 minutes. But it’s unclear how much Messi will play tonight.
