Inter Miami CF's 4-1 victory against New York Red Bulls in MLS play last Saturday was a breath of fresh air after a crushing 5-1 CONCACAF Champions Cup defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps. The bounce-back win appeared to be a huge relief for everyone in the squad — except captain Lionel Messi.

With the MLS clash between Inter Miami and Minnesota United on the horizon, team star Lionel Messi could suffer a major blow as Luis Suarez’s availability is reportedly in doubt.

Miami played without forward Luis Suarez, who did not make the trip due to personal reasons, and without left winger Fafa Picault due to illness.
