Inter Miami has hinted that Lionel Messi will play in their upcoming match. The team tweeted a photo of Messi with the caption "see you tomorrow," suggesting that it will be his last home game of the year. Messi has recently returned to team training after missing the last four matches. However, despite his return, Inter Miami was eliminated from playoff contention with a 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati. This loss means that Inter Miami will not play another MLS game until late February. It is unclear if Messi will play in the remaining two matches of the season. In the U.S. Open Cup final, Messi did not play due to fatigue and a leg issue.
