During Friday’s training session at Herons, Messi participated fully as Miami prepared for their upcoming match against the Boys in Gold. However, both Jordi Alba and Serghiy Kryvtsov were absent and have been ruled out for the weekend. While Leonardo Campana and Robert Taylor trained with the group, they are also unfit for the clash.

The Herons’ injury roster is extensive, with Alba and Kryvtsov’s additions making it a total of nine players sidelined for the match. Without Alba, Franco Negri will take up the left-back position, leaving their bench without a seasoned player.

This weekend, Ryan Sailor will be the most seasoned player on Miami’s sidelines, accompanied by four 22-year-olds and 23-year-old backup goalkeeper Carlos Dos Santos, along with teenagers Noah Allen and Benjamin Cremaschi.

Since Messi’s arrival in July 2023, Nashville hasn’t managed to defeat the Herons in any competitive match, despite four attempts.

The Herons are set to face Nashville SC in a pivotal Eastern Conference showdown on Saturday evening. Messi and his teammates aim for another positive outcome to maintain their top position in the league.
