Philadelphia Union's upcoming match against Inter Miami will feature Lionel Messi, as confirmed by coach Javier Mascherano. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa. Inter Miami has won just once in their last seven matches, falling from fourth to sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference. Philadelphia Union, on the other hand, sits in first place in the East. Messi's presence will be a significant boost for Inter Miami, who desperately needs a win to regain confidence. The club has been struggling, losing five of their last seven matches and being outscored 20-12 during that stretch. Mascherano emphasized the importance of having Messi and Luis Suárez with the team, saying 'this comes at a time of the season when we need them with us.' The match will be available to live stream on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV. Messi is expected to play, but his status will be confirmed when Inter Miami announces its starting lineup an hour before the match. Inter Miami has three matches remaining in MLS play before they participate in the FIFA Club World Cup. The team will play against Egyptian side Al Alhy on June 14 in Miami. Messi has also been called up by Argentina for qualifying matches for the 2026 tournament. Argentina will visit Chile on June 5 and host Colombia on June 10. The upcoming schedule for Inter Miami includes matches against CF Montreal and Columbus Crew. With Messi's participation, Inter Miami hopes to overcome their recent slump and secure a win against Philadelphia Union.
