Messi’s Return to Training a Boost for Inter Miami
Lionel Messi has finally returned to group training with Inter Miami, more than six weeks after leaving the Copa America final with a badly sprained right ankle. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has been working tirelessly to recover from the injury, and his return to training is a massive boost for the team.
Inter Miami has the best record in Major League Soccer so far this season, and Messi’s absence has been felt. The team has managed to win games without him, but his return will undoubtedly give them a significant lift. The question on everyone’s mind is when Messi will return to action, but there is no official timetable yet.
One thing is certain, though – Messi’s return will be huge for Inter Miami. The team is currently four points clear of the LA Galaxy for the best overall record in MLS, and they’ve already clinched a playoff berth. With Messi back in the fold, they’ll be looking to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Goalkeeper Drake Callender has been impressed with Messi’s progress, saying, "To see him on the field is great. I know he’s been getting treatment every single day, training every single day. He’s dealt with things before. He’s been there, done that and he’s still doing it at the highest level."
Messi has 12 goals and 13 assists in 12 MLS games with Inter Miami this season, and his return will undoubtedly make them a more formidable opponent. The team visits Chicago on Saturday, and it’s unclear whether Messi will feature in that game. If not, he’ll have two more weeks to continue rehabbing before returning to action.
One thing’s for sure – Messi’s return will be a major storyline in the coming weeks. Will he be back in time for the MLS playoffs? Only time will tell. Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates on Messi’s progress and the latest news from the world of football!
