Messi Out But Miami Seek Derby Win As Playoff Race Heats Up
Inter Miami head into Sunday's Florida derby against Orlando City with their Major League Soccer playoff destiny in their own hands but without star performer Lionel Messi. Messi and his former Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba both limped out of the first half of Wednesday's 4-0 win over Toronto and were immediately ruled out of the Orlando game by coach Tata Martino. On Friday, Martino confirmed that Messi is coping with some old "scars" while Alba has "muscle fatigue".
