Inter Miami rests Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Jordi Alba as they prepare for the decisive Champions Cup semifinal against Vancouver in Fort Lauderdale.

Lionel Messi will not play in Inter Miami’s league home match against FC Dallas on Sunday. The Argentine star winger was not in the starting lineup or among the reserves when the club released its roster before the match.

Gressel joined Inter Miami in January 2024, reuniting with former coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who had managed him at Atlanta United from 2017 to 2018 — a stretch during which Gressel won the MLS Rookie of the Year award. In his first season in Miami, he was a regular contributor, making 40 appearances, scoring one goal, and providing 10 assists.
