Excitement is building on the West Coast as soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami squad is set to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night.

Forward Luis Suarez, who missed the 4-1 loss at Minnesota United on Saturday due to a personal trip, had not rejoined the team as of Monday and will also be out Wednesday, according to coach Javier Mascherano, who did a remote interview with the media from San Jose, where the team is preparing for the game.
