Lionel Messi was notably absent from Inter Miami’s visit on Thursday night ahead of their round-of-16 first leg against Cavalier FC at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

However, he did make it to Chase Stadium with his family to watch the game!

Other players, such as Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, were seen arriving on the team bus.

This will be the second straight game Messi has missed due to injury.
