Messi is not happy with his suspension from MLS and the tension could affect his future in Miami amid contract talks.

L ionel Messi rested this week and missed the All-Star Game due to fatigue, returned to training Friday and will be available to play in the home game Saturday against FC Cincinnati, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said Friday morning. Messi, who turned 38 last month, played 90-plus minutes in nine games during a 35-day stretch.

The owner of Inter Miami called Major League Soccer's suspension of Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba for skipping the All-Star Game a “draconian” punishment. “They don't understand the decision,” owner Jorge Mas said Friday of the one-game suspensions.
