MONTREAL — CF Montréal is bracing for a visit from Lionel Messi.
Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano said Friday the Argentine great is expected to travel to Montreal and be available to play in Saturday’s Major League Soccer match at Stade Saputo.
Mascherano dismissed the idea of leaving Messi in Florida, noting the team had a long week to recover from Sunday’s 4-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner last played in Canada on April 24, when Inter Miami fell 2-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal at B.C. Place Stadium.
