The recipient of eight Ballon d’Or awards was forced to exit early in the second half during a CONCACAF Champions Cup encounter against Nashville on March 13. Opting for caution regarding his fitness, the renowned Argentine figure did not participate in a 3-1 victory over D.C. United.

Moreover, Messi has been omitted from the most recent Argentina squad, granting him the opportunity to engage in light training sessions in Florida. While the issue being tended to by the legendary player is not deemed severe, there will be no hastiness in his return to the field.

Per insights from Diario Ole journalist Hernan Claus, Messi will be absent for the upcoming fixture against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Tata Martino will also have to manage without his influential captain for the home match against New York City FC on March 30. The objective is to reintegrate Messi into the squad for a Champions Cup encounter with Monterrey on April 3.

Claus suggests that Messi’s recovery is progressing positively as he addresses a muscular concern in his right leg, with Inter Miami expressing confidence that he will be in peak condition for the clash against Mexican adversaries at Chase Stadium.
