That has led to suggestions that he could sit out a trip to Massachusetts.</p><div class="affiliate-button-container theme-1" data-name="Apple TV"><div class="affiliate-button"><img class="logo" height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2de198b67da95a2e/65709d2436cf7d0407034ef9/Apple_TV.png" style="width: 72;height: 40;"><span class="affiliate-text">Get the MLS Season Pass today!</span></div><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=goal_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l39UY" class="affiliate-button-link" target="_blank">Stream games now</a></div>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots NFL franchise, is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mls-rivals-bow-lionel-messi-inter-miami-grass-debate-charlotte-fc-stick-artificial-turf/bltc8cc6c03a54b7556" target="_blank">one of few venues being used in MLS that still boasts artificial turf</a>. Concerns have been raised regarding the added injury threat that is posed when not playing on grass.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-details-luis-suarez-knee-problem-scupper-lionel-messi-reunion-mls-inter-miami/blt1e45423529dea06c" target="_blank">Luis Suarez, given his long-standing knee problems</a>, is another that is reportedly being lined up for a weekend off – rather than gamble on him coming through a fixture that will test his body in a way that other surfaces do not.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Inter Miami and USMNT star Julian Gressel has told the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7eKdm86sFW4GQvCOXZlJfK?si=6f8b044bf4ef407e&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=421d66827c4c49b9" target="_blank"><em>Player/Manager podcast</em></a> when asked about possible absences: “I will ask when we’re preparing for the game, where I’m sure we’ll find out who will be available for the game. But he’s the only one [Suarez] who has a question mark. Of course’s [Jordi] Alba’s hurt.”</p><p>Quizzed on whether Messi may be pulled from the Herons’ starting XI, Gressel added: “Not from what I’ve heard.” </p>

WHAT GRESSEL SAID ABOUT MESSI

<p>Messi was at his talismanic best last time out, as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-lionel-messi-become-nightmare-for-mls-inter-miami-rivals-running-scared/blt113fe929e347869b" target="_blank">scored two and made another in a 3-1 victory over Nashville</a>, with that performance helping to keep Inter Miami at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference through 10 fixtures.</p>
