Lionel Messi\'s status for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game in Austin remains uncertain less than 24 hours before the match is set to be played. Messi was absent for Monday\'s training session and there has been no communication about his status for Wednesday\'s match.
Messi has played every minute of Inter Miami\'s past 19 matches across all competitions. Messi could receive a one-match suspension if he sits without a credible injury reason.
\"Leo is more a question for the league, for his club,\" Austin FC and MLS All-Star coach Nico Estevez said Monday in Spanish. \"I simply coach and direct the players that they give me. And I think that\'s more a question for them. And I hope so. Because having the best player in history is something very important for everyone. But I hope so. I\'m always very optimistic with everything. And why not? I hope that he can be here.\"
The MLS All-Stars will play their counterparts from Liga MX.
