Messi’s Return Boosts Inter Miami’s Chances
The wait is almost over, folks! Lionel Messi is set to return to action with Inter Miami on Saturday after a two-month layoff due to an ankle injury. Coach Gerardo Martino confirmed the news, stating that Messi has fully recovered and is available for selection against the Philadelphia Union.
This is a massive boost for Inter Miami, who currently lead the Eastern Conference and are atop the overall standings. With Messi back in the fold, they’ll be looking to maintain their momentum and continue their unbeaten streak. The Argentine superstar has been sidelined for eight MLS games and the World Cup qualifiers, so his return is a huge bonus for the team.
Messi’s injury occurred during the Copa America final on July 14, where he helped Argentina win the trophy. He’s been working hard to regain his fitness, and Martino believes he’s now ready to make an impact. "To get back the best player in the world to our team, which was already on a good run, we’re all very happy with this situation," the coach said.
This is a crucial game for Inter Miami, as they look to continue their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the table. With Messi back in the mix, they’ll be a formidable opponent for the Philadelphia Union. Will they be able to maintain their unbeaten record? We’ll have to wait and see.
