Maximiliano Falcón saw his one-match ban overturned and will be available to feature in the heart of defense. Federico Redondo is the favorite to enter the lineup instead of Messi, forming a double pivot with Sergio Busquets, allowing Rodrigo De Paul to play in a more advanced role.

Javier Mascherano remained optimistic that Lionel Messi's injury will not keep him out for long, but he will miss Inter Miami's game on Wednesday.
