At this hour, Messi should be resting to prepare for what is expected to be a chaotic battle between Argentina and Brazil. However, due to an injury, he was dropped from Scaloni's squad and had to stay in Florida, where Inter Miami trained with open doors… and the presence of Leo Messi at the training sparked a frenzy among the fans who showed up at the stadium.

Inter Miami opens its doors to see Messi

Surrounded by Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, his inseparable battle companions since their time at FC Barcelona, Leo Messi was the main attraction among the Inter Miami fans. Thousands of people traveled to the stadium to witness Messi and try to take a photo with their idol. In fact, some children had the chance to go down to the benches, and Messi handed them several balls.

Leo Messi, as a reminder, is dealing with a muscle injury confirmed by Inter Miami after the last match of the MLS against Atlanta United… although no estimated recovery time was specified for his return to action. However, his presence at Inter Miami's open training session suggests that Messi could return sooner than expected after this FIFA International Window.

When will Messi return to Inter Miami?

The next match for Inter Miami is a visit to Chase Stadium against Philadelphia Union. Currently the leader of the MLS… although tied on points with Vancouver. Therefore, the match is of utmost importance and could place Inter Miami at the top of the standings if they win. However, as shown throughout this season's start, Mascherano is not going to take any risks by forcing Messi's return.

The main goal that Leo Messi has in mind is to be available to return in the quarterfinals of the Concachampions against Los Angeles FC on April 3. A crucial match for the future of the season for Inter Miami, especially after the disappointment of losing to Nashville in the round of 16 in the previous edition.
