Before Inter Miami’s CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final second leg clash with Monterrey on Tuesday, Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba participated in a training session rondo. The quartet, renowned as Barcelona legends, appeared remarkably at ease as they shared hearty laughs throughout the session.
Messi made a substitute appearance against the Colorado Rapids in Miami’s MLS match on Saturday, following his absence since March 13 due to a thigh injury.
Inter Miami manager Tata Martino indicated that Messi has fully recovered from the injury, potentially enabling him to play a more significant role against Monterrey. Martino stated, “He’s doing well. After playing 45 minutes in the MLS match against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, he felt good.” He added, “We still have today’s training to assess, but the crucial point is that the injury is now a thing of the past.”
Messi aims to lead his team to the CONCACAF Cup semi-finals, yet they face a challenge overturning a 2-1 first-leg deficit and historical precedent. Following this encounter, Miami will resume MLS action, currently occupying the third spot in the Eastern Conference, with a fixture against Sporting KC scheduled for Sunday.
