Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said Wednesday that the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is not injured and added that his availability for Thursday was similar to the other active players on the roster.
Miami is currently in a stretch of four matches in 11 days. After Thursday’s match, Inter Miami will resume league play against Charlotte on Sunday before its second leg against Cavalier March 13 in Kingston, Jamaica. – AP/UNB
