Inter Miami will host Monterrey on Wednesday in the first leg of a high-profile Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal.
The Herons received a bye to the last 16 of the Champions Cup, and began their tournament with a 5-3 aggregate win against Nashville SC.
The second leg of that series on March 13 is also the last time Lionel Messi played in a game, with the Miami superstar sustaining a hamstring injury in that match.
After Messi missed five games for club and country, he returned to training for Miami on Tuesday. But head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino wouldn’t commit to the Argentine playing against Monterrey, instead saying he will be a game-time decision.

Monterrey enters this tie after easily defeating Guatemalan side Comunicaciones in the first knockout round, before a comfortable 3-1 aggregate win over FC Cincinnati in the round of 16.
Rayados are led in attack by U.S. national team forward Brandon Vazquez, who has three goals in four Champions Cup appearances this campaign.
