Could Hurricane Idalia affect Lionel Messi's match with Miami against Nashville?

Lionel Messi is eager to continue adding victories in the current MLS season. With the win against NY Red Bulls, the Miami team aims to achieve the goal of reaching the ninth position to secure a spot in one of the wild card slots for the playoffs.

At the moment,  a direct spot isn't possible as The Herons are currently in the last position of the MLS Eastern Conference. For this reason, a victory against Nashville tonight could be of vital importance. The team led by Gerardo Martino is motivated, and it's expected that the Argentine will start in the starting lineup.

However, at the moment, the state of Florida is on alert due to Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall in the Big Bend region of the state last night and is expected to become a Category 4 hurricane in the coming hours. According to local and national outlets, approximately one million people are expected to be evacuated from the area.

Will the Inter Miami vs Nashville match be affected?

Despite the strong winds, it's important to note that Fort Lauderdale is located in the southern part of Florida, so there's no danger to the match scheduled to be played tonight at the DRV PNK Stadium.
