Lionel Messi is expected to play against Cruz Azul as Miami face off with the Liga MX side in the Leagues Cup at the DRV PNK Stadium on Friday. Speaking about Messi's potential participation in the game, Beckham said (via Hindustan Times):

"Leo will play some part of the game, but that will be down to the coach, (and) it'll be down to Leo to decide if he's ready because we know that he's been away for a few weeks with his family, but he looks sharp. He looks great, but he's going to need time to adapt as well."

Beckham also said that it might take a while for Messi to adapt to his new team:

"It's a different style of football. It's a slightly different level to what obviously some of the players that are coming in are used to. But at the end of the day, this level of football in this country now is a good level. It's a great level, so there are going to be moments where we have to be patient."
