Lionel Messi Set for Sept. 14 Return, Confirms Inter Miami Boss Tata Martino

Inter Miami coach Tata Martino has provided a crucial update on Lionel Messi’s return from injury, revealing that the Argentine star could be back in action as early as September 14. This news comes after Inter Miami’s dominant performance against Chicago Fire in their latest MLS clash.

Messi had been in scintillating form before departing for the Copa America, recording 12 goals and nine assists in just 12 appearances for Inter Miami. Having already resumed training with the team, the 2022 World Cup winner is expected to return to the pitch soon, as Martino confirmed to reporters following the Chicago match.

Messi’s return is a significant boost for Inter Miami as they gear up for the MLS playoffs, which start in late October. Last season, Messi was unable to lead the Herons to a playoff spot after picking up an injury late in the campaign. This time, however, the record Ballon d’Or winner is expected to be fit and ready for postseason action.
