Lionel Messi "available" to return for Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union | MLSSoccer.com Inter Miami CF’s long wait for Lionel Messi appears to be over.
Andre Blake - Out with adductor problem Blake (adductor) is out for Saturday's game against Inter Miami, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.
Impact Blake returned to training following international duty with what was described as a "minor" groin problem, but it seems the issue will be severe enough to keep him sidelined for the clash against Inter Miami. As a result, expect Oliver Semmle to step in between the posts. It's unclear if Blake will be able to recover for the Sep. 18 matchup against New York City FC.

Impact The central midfielder suffered the injury after a tough tackle and is yet to return to training, so his chances of featuring over the weekend are very slim. Jesus Bueno or Leon Flach should handle the defensive midfield duties if Jean Jacques isn't available for the weekend.

Andre Blake - Dealing with groin problem Blake is dealing with "groin discomfort" and is listed as day-to-day for Saturday's game against Inter Miami, Jonathan Tannenwald of The Philadelphia Enquirer reports.
Impact Blake was dealing with the injury at the end of the match between Jamaica and Honduras on Tuesday, and while he didn't train Thursday, he hasn't been ruled out for the weekend. If he's out to face Inter Miami, then Oliver Semmle would slot into the starting role, though that would represent a considerable downgrade for the Union.

Daniel Gazdag - Will be available Saturday Gazdag will be available to face Inter Miami on Saturday after overcoming a "minor" hamstring injury, manager Jim Curtin told media Thursday. "I was a little nervous at first, but...
Impact Gazdag wasn't called up by Hungary due to the injury, but it seems the issue was nothing to worry about, and the playmaker should lead the attack for the Union in a tough matchup against the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Gazdag is having another excellent season with Philadelphia, racking up 14 goals across 23 appearances (21 starts).
