Lionel Messi has missed the first MLS All Star training session.

Messi has been included in the MLS All Star team but he did not train with the team on Monday. The best players from the MLS will play the Liga MX All Star team on Wednesday and Lionel Messi’s participation is a doubt.

Nico Estévez, coach of the MLS All Star team, had this to say when asked if Messi will play on Wednesday:

“I don’t know, that question should be asked to the MLS officials, I just coach the players they give me. Of course, I’d love for him to play, it would be a pleasure to work, even if just for a short time, with the greatest of all time.”
