Lionel Messi, who skipped Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil due to a mild adductor injury, trained with his Inter Miami teammates on Tuesday morning as the FIFA international break was scheduled to end Tuesday night.

Messi has been recovering from a groin injury suffered earlier this month. He's available, but it remains to be seen how much. And he's far from the only Miami player who can give the Union trouble.

Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano recognized the importance of reaching the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals as a young club, but warned against taking the quarterfinal series against LAFC for granted.

The CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament has reached the quarterfinals, and Wednesday night will see LAFC and Inter Miami face off for Leg 1 of the competition (they’ll play again next Wednesday too). Whichever team wins the two clashes will face either the Vancouver Whitecaps FC or Pumas UNAM in the semis.

Seeking its third trip to a Champions Cup final, LAFC hosts its star-laden MLS counterpart in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash Wednesday night at BMO Stadium.

Any time a Miami team faces an L.A. team, it is bound to be a glitzy affair with celebrity spectators, and this one is no exception. The sport’s biggest star, Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi, draws crowds wherever he goes.
