Lionel Messi’s Status Remains Uncertain Ahead of Inter Miami’s Clash with Columbus Crew

Lionel Messi’s availability for Inter Miami’s home game against Columbus Crew is still up in the air, but the Argentine star seems to be itching to play. Messi has been listed as available for selection, and his presence could be a major boost for Inter Miami as they look to keep pace with Nashville SC in the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami is coming off a 1-0 win at Montreal, where Luis Suarez scored the deciding goal, and they will be looking to extend their win streak at home.
