Speaking ahead of Miami’s trip to Georgia to face Atlanta United, head coach Gerardo Martino said his backroom team would take care not to push Messi’s body too hard in the wake of his exertions for Argentina over the international break. “We will be careful with him because we have a lot of important games in a short span,” Martino said on Friday.

While Miami have a six-point gap to make up on the MLS Eastern Conference’s postseason spots, Atlanta are in the playoff positions and look unlikely to drop out at this stage of the campaign.
