Toronto FC leaves for Florida on Tuesday for a mid-week game at Inter Miami, wondering whether Lionel Messi will be waiting at DRV PNK Stadium.
"If he is well and confident he can get to play and if this doesn't happen he will wait a few more days," said the Argentine coach. That drew a lineup to the restaurant and a social media post from Atlanta United after Saturday night's win over Miami. The Atlanta post showed a picture of a pizza with tomato slices shaped like an L as its toppings.
The loss in Atlanta ended a 12-game unbeaten streak for Miami in all competitions. That included Miami's successful seven-game run to the Leagues Cup title and a penalty shootout win over league-leading Cincinnati in U.S. Open Cup semifinal play. He watched Argentina’s World Cup qualifying win at Bolivia from the bench last Tuesday. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said Messi was not feeling well.
“We will be careful with him because we have a lot of important games in a short span,” said Martino."I think he's going to be ready Wednesday because he plays in front of his fans again. And also because they can't miss more points," said the 36-year-old Spaniard, who rose through the ranks with Messi at Barcelona's famed youth academy.
