Messi fit and travels with Inter Miami to Gillette Stadium for MLS round 33

Lionel Messi has trained and travelled with Inter Miami to Gillette Stadium and is fit to be part of the squad for their round 33 Major League Soccer fixture against New England Revolution tonight. The trip will be undertaken by Kily González’s side.

Inter Miami arrive off inconsistent results, having lost 0-2 to New York Red Bulls before being held to a 2-2 draw in their subsequent match. The Herons sit third on the MLS Eastern Conference points table and, while capable of scoring goals, the team has been struggling defensively. Playing away from home is described as a disadvantage for them, and the side will aim for a calm, composed performance to secure three points.

New England Revolution come into the game on a four-match winning run and will be seeking to extend that streak. The Revs have not beaten Inter Miami in their last five attempts and have conceded 17 goals in those meetings. That head-to-head record and their current form frame the immediate competitive context for the fixture.

Messi, 39, has been described as a crucial asset in Inter Miami’s attack and is set to be included in the squad. In 29 Major League Soccer appearances this season he has scored 25 goals and provided 14 assists. Those figures underline his contribution to the team’s offensive output this campaign.

Alongside Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and German Berterame are cited as attacking partners who will pose a threat to New England’s defence. The presence of that frontline shapes expectations about Inter Miami’s offensive approach for the match.

Messi’s availability means he is likely to feature in Inter Miami’s round 33 trip to Gillette Stadium to face New England Revolution; the match can be viewed live on Apple TV. Khel Now offers further match coverage and updates via its social and mobile channels.
