Messi’s Return to Inter Miami: A Boost for the Team’s Title Chances
Lionel Messi is finally set to return to action for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer after a two-month absence due to injury. The Argentine superstar has been sidelined since July 14, when he suffered a right ankle sprain during Argentina’s 2024 Copa América final against Colombia. The news of his return will be a massive boost for the team, who have been dominating the league this season.
According to Inter Miami’s head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino, Messi will be available for their upcoming match against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Martino confirmed that Messi had been cleared to play after missing a training session on Wednesday due to a sore throat, which he clarified was just a minor issue.
Messi’s return couldn’t have come at a better time for Inter Miami, who are currently leading both the Supporters’ Shield and the Eastern Conference standings with 59 points in 27 games. Their impressive form this season has put them on track to break the Major League Soccer record for the most points recorded in a single regular season. With Messi back in the lineup, the team’s chances of achieving this feat have significantly improved.
The Argentine maestro’s leadership and unparalleled skills on the field are crucial assets for Inter Miami as they look to maintain their momentum in the league. His return will undoubtedly give the team a much-needed boost, and fans will be eagerly anticipating his performance on Saturday.
Inter Miami’s impressive form this season can be attributed to Messi’s presence on the pitch. The team has won 17 of their 27 games, with Messi scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists. His return will not only bring back his goalscoring threat but also his ability to create chances for his teammates.
The question on everyone’s mind is: what can we expect from Messi’s return? Will he be back to his best, or will he take some time to get back into the swing of things? One thing is for sure, though – his return will bring a level of excitement and unpredictability to the game that will be thrilling to watch.
