Lionel Messi continues to recover from his right ankle ligament injury, but he won’t play in Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup tournament match against LIGA MX club Tigres UANL on Saturday at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
Messi is out of the walking boot he used to begin his recovery, Inter Miami coach Tata Martino said during a news conference Friday. But Messi continues to work with team trainers and has yet to hit the field with his teammates in a practice setting.
Still, it’s a positive Messi injury update since he first suffered the injury during the Copa America final July 14.
Inter Miami’s match against Tigres UANL will determine seeding in the Leagues Cup tournament as both clubs have already clinched a spot in the Round of 32, beating Puebla during the group stage.
Inter Miami will face either MLS counterpart Toronto or LIGA MX side Pachuca in the knockout stage next week. If Inter Miami wins, it will face the Toronto-Pachuca loser. If Inter Miami loses, it will face the winner.
Despite already advancing to the knockout stage, Martino believes Tigres UANL could advance deep in the Leagues Cup, and Saturday’s match will serve as another measuring stick for Inter Miami. The club has won seven of eight matches without Messi since June 1.
“It is one of the most important teams in the [tournament], and it will surely be a nice test for us to see how we are to transcend in this competition,” Martino said of Tigres UANL.
The Inter Miami match against Tigres UANL begins at 8 p.m. ET (9 p.m. in Argentina) and will be live streamed by MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish a fire in southwest Miami-Dade on Tuesday, authorities said.
It was 7:46 a.m. when Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) said a dozen units responded to a kitchen fire near the 15300 block of SW 106th Terrace at Hammock Trails development, according to the fire department and the Red Cross.
Crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the kitchen of an apartment, MDFR said.
One person was assessed at the scene and did not need to be taken to a hospital, according to the fire department. Four people total were impacted, and were being assisted by the Red Cross, the organization said.
“Firefighters quickly initiated a fire attack and placed the fire under control. Crews remained on scene to monitor and extinguish hot spots, while ventilation was established to clear the smoke,” MDFR said.
The exact cause of the blaze is under investigation, but MDFR Chief of Staff/PIO Erika Benitez offered advice for preventing a kitchen fire.
“Safety is the best recipe to protect yourself and others from fire,” she said. “If you experience a burn emergency, call 911, immediately. Remember to cool down the burned area by running cool water on top of the area. Remove your rings or any tight items. Never use butter, toothpaste or ice on the burn.”
MDFR also shared the following kitchen fire safety tips:
