Inter Miami officials have appealed to fans and the media to give Lionel Messi space after his father Jorge died at 68 on August 8 in Rosario. Coach Guillermo Hoyos said silence and peace are the best support. Messi travelled to Argentina but returned quickly, playing the second half as a substitute in a Leagues Cup match against Club Leon. He is expected to play against Nashville SC on Saturday.
