Lionel Messi is set to start for Inter Miami against CF Montreal, as the Herons look to snap a five-match winless streak without suspended head coach Guillermo Hoyos. Lionel Messi will start for Inter Miami on Saturday when the Herons host CF Montreal at Nu Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The Argentine captain will be looking to help snap Miami’s rough patch, having gone five matches without a win. The club also deals with the absence of head coach Guillermo Hoyos, who is serving a one-match suspension issued by MLS over repeated violations of the league’s late kickoff policy. Assistants Rafael Perez and Rodrigo Vargas will take charge from the sideline in his place. Miami sit second in the Eastern Conference with 39 points from 21 games (11-6-4), boasting a +9 goal difference, while Montreal sit well down the table in 14th with 21 points and a -10 goal difference across the same number of matches. Messi enters the match with 14 goals this season, and he’ll once again be flanked by Luis Suarez, who has 10 goals of his own, and German Berterame up top, with Rodrigo De Paul pulling the strings from midfield.

With Hoyos unavailable, Miami’s interim staff are expected to reshuffle the backline while keeping Messi, Suarez and Berterame together up front. Inter Miami’s confirmed starting XI: St. Clair; Fray, Casemiro, Falcon, Allen; Segovia, Bright, De Paul; Suarez, Messi, Berterame. CF Montreal’s confirmed lineup Montreal will lean heavily on Prince Owusu, who has been the club’s standout attacking threat with 13 goals this season, alongside Matthew Longstaff and Nathan Streit in support.

Harry Maguire has missed Manchester United”s friendly against Leeds (Getty) Harry Maguire, Benjamin Sesko and Mason Mount have been left out of Manchester United’s pre-season friendly against Leeds United on Wednesday night. Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven start in central defence for United at Croke Park in Dublin, while Michael Carrick has left Maguire out of his squad completely. Maguire took part in full training on Tuesday and is not suffering from an injury as Carrick is keen to spread pre-season minutes to every member of his squad. Elsewhere, Mason Mount is ruled out after he was forced off with a foot injury against Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg on Saturday, while Sesko is yet to make an appearance in pre-season as he continues to recover from a shin injury.

Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez reported back to pre-season training with United on Monday but tonight’s friendly against Leeds comes too soon for the trio. Carrick has confirmed that Rashford, Mainoo and Martinez are in line to feature for United’s final pre-season friendly against AC Milan in Wroclaw on Saturday. Man Utd vs Leeds confirmed line-ups Man Utd: Lammens; Dalot (c), Yoro, Heaven, Amass; Santos, T. Fletcher; Amad, Zirkzee, Dorgu; Mbeumo. Subs: Heath, Honor, Mee, Armer, Shaw, Collyer, Fernandes, J. Fletcher, Tielemans, Cunha, Gabriel, Lacey, Thompson. Leeds United: Trafford; Muharemovic, Bijol, Bornauw; Bogle, Tanaka, Longstaff, James; Aaronson, Chadwick; Nmecha. Subs: Cairns, Mahady, Justin, Lienou, Rodon, Ampadu, Cresswell, Stach, Calvert-Lewin, Gnonto, Mills, Okafor, Piroe, Wilson. Speaking to MUTV before kick-off, Carrick stressed the importance of sharing the pre-season minutes in his squad with some players further ahead than those who only recently returned from the World Cup. ‘We’ve got two or three different groups within our stage, the stages that the lads have been at in terms of when they’ve been back with us, how much training they’ve had, so we’re trying to get the balance right with that,’ Carrick said. ‘Giving younger players a chance as well, in a game and an occasion like this which feels, I have to say, it’s great to be here, feeling the energy of the stadium, I think that’s really good for the younger players to sample that tonight for their learning and to feel what it feels to play like for Manchester United in a game like this. ‘In terms of the ones who have just come back, some boys are not quite ready, Marcus, Licha [Martinez], Kobbie, they only came back a couple of days ago so we’ll save them until the weekend. ‘We’ve trained hard, the boys came in, Marcus, Lucha and Kobbie came in on Monday, they’ve had two or three sessions, they trained this morning really hard. ‘Recovery day tomorrow for everybody as a group. It’s important that we’ve got two or different stages but when we’re together as a group we stay like that so we’ll all recover tomorrow, train Friday and prepare for the game on Saturday, and again get the minutes and the balance right and then look strong going into next week.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Liverpool 2-4 LeedsCalvert-Lewin scores twice in comeback from 2-0 downAfter 45 minutes at Soldier Field the tale of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the US was of three straight wins and Andoni Iraola’s ideas taking shape thanks in no small part to Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. After 90, with Liverpool’s expensive duo off the scene, it centred on a stirring Leeds fightback and the recurrence of a fragility that Iraola could well do without.Daniel Farke’s team staged a convincing comeback to inflict a first defeat of pre-season on the new Liverpool head coach. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, twice, Brenden Aaronson and Sean Longstaff all scored in the space 25 minutes as Liverpool failed to deal with Leeds’ strength at set-pieces and the disruption caused by a series of half-times changes. The drop-off from Liverpool, who led 2-0 at half-time, following the departures of Wirtz, Isak, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha was drastic. Continue reading...
Inter Miami face CF Montreal in Matchday 18 action of the MLS, where many are wondering if Lionel Messi will be available for the Herons in Canada. Lionel Messi will sit out Inter Miami’s trip to face CF Montreal in Matchday 18 of the 2026 MLS regular season, as the Argentine captain continues his mandatory recovery period following Argentina’s run to the 2026 World Cup final. Messi has yet to return to training with the Herons since getting back from the tournament. His absence isn’t tied to injury or suspension. Current FIFA-FIFPRO regulations grant players a minimum 21-day rest window after major international tournaments, and Messi is using his in full. Rodrigo De Paul is in the same boat and will also miss the trip to Quebec. It’s a notable blow for Inter Miami’s attack, given Messi has racked up 12 goals and seven assists in just 14 MLS appearances this season. Inter Miami arrive at Stade Saputo on a five-match winning streak and sit near the top of the Eastern Conference table, with Luis Suarez carrying the attacking load in Messi’s absence — the 39-year-old scored a brace in Miami’s 3-2 win over Chicago Fire last time out. Luis Suarez celebrates a goal for Inter Miami. (Getty Images) CF Montreal projected lineup CF Montreal could line up in a 4-3-3, with Matthew Longstaff as the creative engine in midfield. Up top, the trio of Hennadiy Synchuk, Prince Owusu and Noah Streit will be tasked with breaking down the Inter Miami backline. CF Montreal’s projected starting XI: Breza; Bugaj, Neal, Vera, Petrasso; Herbers, Longstaff, Loturi; Synchuk, Owusu, Streit. Inter Miami projected lineup With Messi and De Paul unavailable, Hoyos is expected to turn to a 4-3-3 built around Luis Suarez, who’s been in red-hot form with eight goals in his last 12 MLS appearances, including a brace in the win over Chicago Fire. Inter Miami’s projected starting XI: St. Clair; Mura, Fray, Micael, Reguilon; Ruiz, Bright, Segovia; Silvetti, Suarez, Berterame. When could Messi be back? As for when Messi comes back, the picture is still taking shape. He’s expected to rejoin the group in late July or early August, but given the 21-day rest allowance, his likelier reappearance could come in the Leagues Cup. Inter Miami open group play against Atletico de San Luis on August 5, face Monterrey on August 8, and close against Leon on August 12 — a date that would line up with the end of his mandated rest period.
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against WestHam at London Stadium (kick-off 16:00 BST). On team news: "I can confirm that Ilia Gruev is still out, that Gabi Gudmundsson is still out, that Noah Okafor is still out."
