Miami’s coach Gerardo Martino confirms the star player is in high spirits and ready for action after a successful half-game stint last weekend. With today’s session ahead, it seems the past injury concerns are now just a memory.
In a bid to secure their place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-finals, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami is set to face a challenging task as they aim to reverse a 2-1 shortfall from their initial encounter with Monterrey this Wednesday evening.
Lionel Messi was absent
Lionel Messi was absent from the previous week’s initial match of the aggregate-goal series. The celebrated eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient made a comeback from a hamstring ailment that had kept him off the pitch since the Champions Cup game on March 13 against Nashville. He took to the field in the latter half of the Major League Soccer match in Colorado last Saturday, marking his return with a goal in the 2-2 stalemate.

“Miami’s coach Gerardo Martino expressed optimism about the player’s condition, noting his positive performance in the last game’s second half. With another practice session on the agenda, it seems the previous injury is no longer a concern. Martino emphasized the significance of player health over immediate match outcomes, especially with the season’s early stages underway. The upcoming match has garnered immense interest, selling out rapidly, and the resale market for tickets is buzzing, with prices spanning from $450 to $1,900.”
