Martino confirmed that Messi will play for Inter Miami in their upcoming matches against Atlanta United on Wednesday and St. Louis CITY SC on Saturday before departing for Copa America. Both Messi and Suarez were rested during Miami’s 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.
Messi will join the Argentine national team in Miami on Sunday for their pre-Copa America camp in South Beach. Suarez has not yet been named in Uruguay’s Copa America squad, as coach Marcelo Bielsa has not announced the roster. If called up, Suarez is expected to follow a similar schedule to Messi.
The Miami head coach was clear about the plans for Messi this week, stating: “We know that he (Messi) is playing in Saturday’s game and then has to report to the national team.”
Inter Miami will face Atlanta United on Wednesday evening in MLS action, followed by a match against St. Louis CITY SC on Saturday evening. Messi is expected to participate in both games before joining the Argentine camp.
