The Argentina captain's participation in the U.S. Open Cup final, where his team will attempt to capture a second championship after taking home the Leagues Cup last month, is in doubt.

Callender; Yedlin; Aviles; Miller; Allen; Arroyo; Busquets; Ruiz; Farias; Campana; Taylor make up Inter Miami.

Clark, Escobar, Bartlow, Hadebe, Smith, Caicedo, Herrera, Iturre, Carasquilla, Kowalczyk, and Ibrahim are Houston Dynamo players.

Martino stated that if it were not a cup final, he would not consider deploying Messi, 36, even though the Miami team has yet to lose with him on the pitch.
