• Messi and Alba subbed off in first half of Miami’s 4-0 win
• Tata Martino offers no specifics on Apple TV broadcast
• Miami entering daunting stretch of six matches in 17 days

Lionel Messi returned to Inter Miami’s lineup on Wednesday night. It was a short-lived comeback, and his team rallied after he departed.

Messi was subbed off in the 37th minute of Inter Miami’s match against Toronto, after spending a few minutes laboring with what appeared to be a leg issue. Miami came up big without him, winning 4-0 to move within five points of the final playoff spot in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference.
