Messi returns to routine

Lionel Messi returned to Inter Miami training this Wednesday after almost ten days of rest in Argentina. The club released images of the captain arriving at the Fort Lauderdale facility with his mate, a snapshot that quickly went viral and symbolizes his return to routine after a month filled with emotions.

The calendar is waiting for it

The Argentine had not trained with the team since May, when he joined the National Team to compete in the World Cup. After the 1-0 defeat in the final against Spain, Messi and Rodrigo De Paul traveled to their country to recharge and missed the last MLS matches. Now, the expectation is on his official return, he could reappear this Saturday against Columbus Crew or wait until the debut in the Leagues Cup on August 5 against Atlético de San Luis.

A new chapter in Miami

Messi and De Paul had been called up for the 2026 All-Star, but they were exempted to prioritize their recovery after the wear and tear of the tournament. At 39 years old, the captain manages each step with precision, and his return to Florida opens a new chapter with Inter Miami. Fans expect him to lead the team again in a demanding schedule, where the Leagues Cup and MLS will be key tests to measure his relevance and prominence.
