Lionel Messi does not play for Inter Miami against Montreal Impact for the MLS. Gerardo Martino did not include him among those called up for this Sunday's match.

He has just suffered a hard blow against Nashville SC for the Concacaf Champions Cup. He was saved for Wednesday's rematch at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Luis Suárez and the Spanish Sergio Busquets are among the substitutes. Jordi Alba, on the other hand, is a starter as are the Argentines Tomás Avilés and Federico Redondo.
