As reported by ESPN, forward of MLS club Inter Miami and Argentina national team Lionel Messi returned to full training with the main team after a leg injury.
It should be noted that the 36-year-old striker has missed the last four matches of the Herons. According to reports, the 2022 World Champion may return to the field in the upcoming regular season home game against Cincinnati, which will be held on October 8.
It is also possible that this game could be Messi's final game of the 2023 season, as the forward has been called up to the Argentina national team for October's 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Paraguay (October 13, home) and Peru (October 18, away) and is likely to miss the final matches of the regular season.
Javier Morales, a member of the Inter Miami coaching staff, commented on the forward's condition to the media:
He trained on Thursday and Friday. His condition is improving every day.
Messi moved to Inter Miami this summer as a free agent from PSG. He played 12 games in his new club, scoring 11 goals and making five assists. He also helped the club win their first trophy in history - the Leagues Cup.
After 31 rounds Gerardo Martino's wards are in the fourteenth position in the MLS Eastern Conference table with 33 points and five points behind the ninth place, which gives them a chance to participate in the play-in.
