Lionel Messi’s Rehabilitation Plan With Inter Miami to Arrive in the Best Shape for the 2026 World Cup
Messi's rehabilitation: After the injury with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is in a recovery period, hoping to be fit for the World Cup
Lionel Messi's injury
Lionel Messi suffered a muscle strain in his left hamstring during the preseason tour with Inter Miami in the match against Barcelona in Guayaquil.
This week, Inter Miami's number ten is beginning his intensive recovery period; this injury can last weeks or months, depending on the degree of severity
Will he make it to the World Cup?
Given the importance of the upcoming matches for the number ten, Inter Miami is prioritizing the recovery of the Argentine star, with hopes of a full recovery before the 2026 World Cup, which begins in four months, as well as the matches that Inter Miami may play at the continental level, such as the CONCACAF Champions Cup

The recovery plan
The initial reports suggest a three-week absence; however, there is still no official communication from the club regarding the exact recovery time for Lionel. To ensure that Lionel Messi arrives in good condition for the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine star would have to undergo a period of specific physiotherapy work on the area affected by the injury, as well as later in the reintegration process on the field, and be constantly evaluated by the club's doctors to avoid a relapse and the worsening of the injury.
