Lionel Messi has good news for fans

After the international break, Inter Miami is back in training, preparing for what will be a key stretch for the Fort Lauderdale club. Alongside New England Revolution, they were the only team given a break by MLS during the FIFA window, but now all focus shifts to the upcoming fixtures.

Messi’s back!

One of the biggest positives for Inter Miami is that Lionel Messi has resumed training with the squad after a muscle injury kept him out of Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil. This marks the start of an important week for the Argentine star. Even though he was not part of the latest national team squad, Argentina could still secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup in his absence, potentially easing his workload for future matches under Lionel Scaloni.

At the club level, Inter Miami faces a crucial stretch, including Saturday’s match against Philadelphia Union, but the primary focus will be the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals against LAFC.

In the coming days, Messi could provide a major boost for the team by making the squad for one of the upcoming matches.

The main target remains his return for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, a tournament where Miami hopes to take a significant step forward and reach the semifinals after falling short last season, when they were eliminated by Monterrey in the quarterfinals.
