Lionel Messi is playing, here is the starting lineup for Inter Miami vs Nashville

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are set to face Nashville tonight in the MLS. The Herons and the Tennessee-based team are familiar opponents. They faced each other in the final of the Leagues Cup, where Miami emerged victorious, securing their first-ever title in the club's history.

The arrival of the Argentine star has brought success to David Beckham's team. Prior to Messi's arrival, Inter Miami wasn't performing well. They had been in last place in the Eastern Conference Standings, enduring an 11-game winless streak.

However, within a month of Messi's arrival, the situation has changed dramatically. Now, Gerardo Martino goal is to make it to the MLS playoffs. While direct qualification isn't possible anymore, Inter has a chance to reach the playoffs through a wildcard spot.

Therefore, a victory for Miami today at the DRV PNK Stadium is of utmost importance to secure the ninth position, which guarantees a spot in the wildcard. With this in mind, Inter Miami's lineup for the match is expected to be as follows.
