The critical shock on Wednesday evening will see a team qualify for the last four teams standing in the competition, but Javier Mascherano needs to be careful with the Argentinian after having already missed two games due to muscle problems.

During the weekend, Messi recorded 45 minutes against the Los Angeles galaxy, winning a goal and a decisive pass for the herons, but four days later, he left the team. It does not seem to be a moment of panic because with the addition of Paul Rodrigo In the midfield, Miami’s team was strong enough to manage the rotation due to Paul already warmed in three assists in all competitions.

With two games to play in August, before a slight break in September when the real stretch of the end of the season begins, Mascherano will need Messi for as many minutes as possible. The Herons have three games in hand, but drag FC Cincinnati for the first place of the Eastern Conference by seven points.
