Tata Martino is already waiting for Jordi Alba. The Inter Miami coach confirmed, as did Jorge Mas, owner of the club, hours earlier, that the fullback will play for the U.S. team this season, but explained the player's situation.
"Jordi Alba's son was born today (Wednesday) and so he will arrive in the next few days," said the coach, who will once again have the left-back, Leo Messi and Sergio Busquets, whom he already managed at Barcelona, under his command.
Gerardo Martino also had words to say about the latter two. The coach was asked if they will make their debut against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup and answered in the affirmative, although he still does not know if they will be in the starting eleven or from the bench.
"Messi and Busquets will play. I don't know if they will start. The first thing I want them to do is to train," said Tata in statements reported by 'TyC Sports'.
