Lionel Messi’s status for Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup semi-final against Orlando City will be a gameday decision after the Argentine star trained with his teammates, the MLS squad announced Tuesday.

Inter Miami assistant coach Javier Morales said the Herons will monitor both Messi and Jordi Alba before deciding whether they will be available for Wednesday’s home showdown against Orlando City.

“Jordi and Leo trained with us, they completed training. We’ll see how they feel as the day progresses, and tomorrow we’ll make a decision,” Morales said.

Morales called Messi completing his training workout “super positive” and added, “I imagine he’ll be in the squad at least.”
