Inter Miami has struggled as of late, only winning one of its last three matches, including a 4-0 blowout loss against New York Red Bulls.

However, Miami is holding out for a spark in its upcoming match — that spark is the return of Messi from a hamstring injury.

Messi has missed the last three games and has not been confirmed to play on Wednesday, but reports are that he returned to practice on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, head coach Gerardo Martino was asked about Messi's availability for Wednesday, revealing that the team hadn't made a decision yet and would proceed with caution.

"Tomorrow we will decide — we still have 24 hours," Martino said Tuesday. "Seeing that we have a very important game tomorrow, we have to consider that we are only in the beginning of April. For us, this is only just (the) beginning, and what we shouldn’t do is risk our player’s physical health."

C.F. Monterrey was defeated by Guadalajara 2-0 in it most recent match, but prior to that, had won five straight.
