Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Más said on Friday that the club disagrees with the decision by MLS to suspend Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba for one game after they both missed the 2025 MLS All-Star Game. “It's a bad rule, but it's a rule nonetheless," Más told reporters, via Franco Panizo.

Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba are set to rejoin Javier Mascherano’s squad when Inter Miami host Liga MX side Atlas at Chase Stadium in Wednesday’s Leagues Cup opener.

Jordi Alba's arrival adds even more star power to Inter Miami, but for a defender like Noah Allen, it likely means a change in role.
