Lionel Messi's Status TBD for Inter Miami's U.S. Open Cup Final amid Injury

Lionel Messi, who is dealing with an "old scar tissue" problem, will be a game-time decision for Inter Miami's U.S. Open Cup final match against Houston Dynamo FC on Wednesday.

"We will decide tomorrow based on how he's feeling," head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino said Tuesday, per ESPN's Ross Devonport.

Messi left his team's 4-0 win over Toronto FC on Sept. 20 in the 37th minute due to the ailment. He then sat Inter Miami's 1-1 draw with Orlando City SC on Sunday.
