Tata Martino on Lionel Messi
“The team (against Atlanta United) we will determine after today’s training session… those who will not travel are the suspended players and David Martinez,” Martino affirmed.
Lionel Messi estará a disposición para el partido frente a Atlanta. Va a viajar a Atlanta y Nueva York. Allen está bien pero descartado por el protocolo de conmoción cerebral. #InterMiamiCF #Messi
When asked about Lionel Messi, Martino said, “(Messi) finished tired after the first game back but he is feeling fine.” Messi is confirmed to travel with the team for both away games, where big crowds are expected at each match.
