The Story in Brief
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.

The real test will be how the crowd treats him when he takes the field on Saturday. Will they let him find his own moments, or demand a show?
