Inter Miami will face Liga MX side Tigres with a ticket to the 2025 Leagues Cup semifinals on the line, but they’ll have to do so without their best player: Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami continue their quest for a second Leagues Cup title in three years when they face Liga MX power Tigres UANL in the quarterfinals.

Lionel Messi, who returned from a hamstring injury to lead Inter Miami to victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend, was not at training on Tuesday morning. His status for Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarterfinal against Tigres is unknown. Coach Javier Mascherano is expected to provide an update at a pre-game media conference after training.
