Lionel Messi's status remains a concern for Inter Miami as the Herons prepare to face the Eastern Conference leaders, Philadelphia Union.
Messi started Inter Miami's 2025 campaign in prime form. The 37-year-old bagged two goals and two assists in his first three matches across all competitions, becoming the fastest player in MLS history to record 40 goal contributions in the league. Then, he missed the Herons' next three matches.
