Inter Miami head coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino has confirmed that star player Lionel Messi will not be participating in the team's upcoming Leagues Cup round-of-32 clash against Toronto FC. Messi, who recently returned from Copa América with an ankle injury, has not yet trained with the team and is still undergoing rehabilitation in the gym.
On the other hand, Luis Suárez is set to make his return to the pitch after recovering from a recurring knee injury. Suárez, who missed the 2024 MLS All-Star match and the team's last group stage game against Tigres, has been training well and is deemed fit to play against Toronto.
