Lionel Messi Injury: Ready to play full game if needed

Messi will be "ready to play 90-plus minutes" Friday against Nashville SC, manager Javier Mascherano told Inter Miami journalist Franco Panizo.

Messi missed training Tuesday due to discomfort, but the star forward suited up Wednesday and will undergo full training Thursday as well. Having him available is huge for Inter Miami after he bagged a league-leading 29 goals and 16 assists in the regular season.
