The MLS transfer window closes Aug. 21, and the Inter Miami coach insists he doesn’t want any more departures.

Lionel Messi could return for Inter Miami after injury. Javier Mascherano confirmed the Argentine is training again and could feature in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal clash against Tigres.

The Argentine coach confirmed Messi’s absence from Tuesday’s training session but failed to rule out the striker from Wednesday’s match.

Lionel Messi sat out Inter Miami's full training session, raising doubts about his availability for Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarterfinal against Tigres. Manager Javier Mascherano acknowledged the eight-time Ballon D'Or winner is navigating through discomfort, but didn't rule out the Argentine star.

Inter Miami picked up a 3–1 win over the LA Galaxy on Saturday night, but not everything is going well for the Herons.

Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano has hit out at Lionel Messi's teammate Benja Cremaschi for his recent complaints.

Javier Mascherano has responded to Benjamin Cremaschi's recent remarks about his role at Inter Miami, with the Herons boss saying his door is open if the midfielder wants to discuss his circumstances. Speaking to reporters this week, the 20-year-old midfielder said he was "frustrated" with his role and his lack of minutes recently.

Mascherano most recently was Argentina's under-20 team and Olympic coach; the national team let him out of the last two years of his contract to come to Inter Miami — where he has a three-year deal.
