&ldquo;He is working with the physios,&rdquo; Miami coach Javier Morales said on Friday, &ldquo;but he won&rsquo;t be available because we are doing all we can to get him ready for next Wednesday. There is a possibility he will play in that game, that is what we are working for.&rdquo;
Messi has not played for Miami since March 13, when he left a 3-1 win over Nashville just a few minutes into the second half because of discomfort in his right hamstring.
The 36-year-old also missed <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/injured-messi-out-of-argentina-friendlies-23340694" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Argentina</a>&rsquo;s exhibitions this month against El Salvador and Costa Rica.
Miami has won all five matches that Messi has played in this season but has lost two of three without him, including a 4-0 defeat at New York last Saturday.&nbsp;
