Lionel Messi’s potential return is a hot topic in Miami as fans eagerly await the Argentine legend’s comeback. After being sidelined since March 15 with an adductor injury sustained in a match against Atlanta United, Messi is nearing the final stages of his recovery but remains unavailable for key upcoming fixtures.
While the injury is minor, it requires careful management to avoid setbacks, according to Marca. Messi missed Argentina’s recent World Cup qualifiers and has been following a customized program to gradually reintegrate into full training.
During an open training session on Monday at Chase Stadium, Messi briefly joined his teammates before switching to individual exercises. Later, he applied ice to his left leg, signaling that his return will be approached cautiously.
Inter Miami does not plan to include him in the upcoming match against Philadelphia Union or the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal first leg against LAFC. The targeted date for his return is April 6 against Toronto FC, where he may see limited action on the field.
Until then, Messi’s status remains the biggest question for a club that continues to rely on his brilliance.
