After Inter Miami's triumph over Nashville SC, Tata Martino addressed Messi's fitness concerns, hinting at his potential absence against D.C. United. Messi's early substitution due to discomfort in his right leg raised caution. Martino stated, "He's overloaded on the right posterior (leg). We didn't want to take risks. We tried to push him longer, but it was bothering him. I doubt he'll be available for Saturday's match." Reports from The Miami Herald mentioned a hamstring strain, casting doubt on his immediate return.
