Javier Mascherano confirmed Messi is fit to feature against Charlotte FC after returning from Argentina duty. Miami, beaten in the Leagues Cup final, will miss Luis Suárez and others, but Messi’s presence is expected to lift the squad. Mascherano told reporters Messi trained fully this week and will play, though suspensions and injuries open chances for others. He highlighted adaptability as key, promising Miami will compete despite absences and rely on Messi’s influence to inspire a rebound.
