Inter Miami could ‘risk’ with Messi in US Open Cup final

Head coach Gerardo Martina admitted that Inter Miami could play injured Lionel Messi in today’s US Open Cup final vs. Houston Dynamo.

Leo left the pitch after 37 minutes vs. Toronto FC with a problem and didn’t play in the draw vs. Orlando City during the weekend.

“Leo will be a game-time decision after seeing how he’s feeling,” Martina shared.

Gerardo added Lionel suffered an old problem, but the Argentina international will do everything possible to be able to compete in the match for the trophy. At the same time, Jordi Alba is also doubtful for the clash.

Messi inked with the MLS team during the summer after his deal with PSG expired.
