Lionel Messi's fitness is still in question leading up to the second leg of Inter Miami's Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 tie against Cavalier.
Four days after defeating Charlotte with just 10 men, Inter Miami are headed to Jamaica with a trip to the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals on the line. Javier Mascherano's men secured a 2–0 victory in the first leg against Cavalier last week and now must finish the job amid growing concerns about Messi's status.
Javier Mascherano assured fans Messi is not injured, yet the 37-year-old has not played for Inter Miami since Feb. 25. Not only did Messi miss out on the Herons' fixtures against Houston Dynamo, Cavalier and Charlotte, but he once again remains a doubt for Thursday's match.
Here's the latest on Messi's status ahead of Inter Miami's trip to Jamaica to face Cavalier.
