Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC: How to watch Messi in MLS, live stream
Inter Miami will be hoping Lionel Messi makes his return Sunday in a potentially difficult MLS league match against Charlotte FC.
Messi has missed the club's last two matches, including Thursday's 2-0 win over Jamaican side Cavalier FC in Concacaf Champions Cup play, with head coach Javier Mascherano citing fatigue rather than a specific injury. After the win over Cavalier, Mascherano termed the iconic Argentine attacker "day-by-day," opening up the possibility that he could return to face Charlotte.
Miami is well-positioned to advance to the Champions Cup quarterfinals, mirroring solid results in MLS. Playing without Messi, the Herons nevertheless thrashed the Houston Dynamo 4-1 last Sunday. Meanwhile, Charlotte should provide stern competition. Head coach Dean Smith's team — one of the toughest defensive sides in MLS in 2024 — started its campaign off with a 2-2 draw against the Seattle Sounders before downing Atlanta United 2-0 last weekend.
Here's what to know ahead of Inter Miami's MLS clash with Charlotte FC:
