Lionel Messi and Inter Miami return to action on the road against the New England Revolution on Wednesday, July 9. Here's the latest on if he plays.

Lionel Messi is set to sign a one-year contract extension at Inter Miami despite concrete interest from the Saudi Pro League. The legendary Argentine winger moved to the MLS outfit from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, scoring 52 goals in 64 appearances since.

The Chicago Fire became the latest victims of the Kévin Denkey and Evaner show in Cincinnati, allowing both stars to score in a 2–1 loss. At the same time, Philip Zinckernagel netted his ninth goal of the season in the losing effort.
