Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba have not been sanctioned for skipping Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game in Austin, Texas, their coach confirmed Friday. Both players were voted into the showcase by the fans and media but neither featured in the MLS squad's 3-1 win against the Liga MX All-Stars.

Jordi Alba's arrival adds even more star power to Inter Miami, but for a defender like Noah Allen, it likely means a change in role.
