2023 MLS odds: Will Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati?

Lionel Messi might return to Inter Miami's lineup for Saturday's MLS home match against FC Cincinnati.

Messi has missed five of Inter Miami’s past six matches as well as another for Argentina because of fatigue and then a hamstring injury. 

Inter Miami has not made an announcement on Messi's playing status, though he practiced Friday. The club tweeted a photo of Messi with the Spanish phrase for "see you tomorrow."
