Whitecaps tell fans not to expect Messi for Miami MLS clash

Vancouver Whitecaps have warned fans that Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets are not expected to play in their MLS match on Saturday. The Whitecaps CEO said they wanted to give fans advance notice, as they were anticipating a crowd of over 50,000 at BC Place. To soften the disappointment, the club will offer discounted food and beverages. Messi, the face of MLS, returned to Miami’s starting lineup last weekend after missing a match due to knee discomfort.
