Lionel Messi, who returned from a hamstring injury to lead Inter Miami to victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend, was not at training on Tuesday morning. His status for Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarterfinal against Tigres is unknown. Coach Javier Mascherano is expected to provide an update at a pre-game media conference after training.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi wouldn’t be denied for long. The Argentine superstar had missed numerous scoring chances in his return from injury Saturday night against the Galaxy, but in the match’s waning minutes, Messi scored the go-ahead goal, then assisted on another to help lift Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory.
