Lionel Messi set to return to Inter Miami lineup after 2-month injury recovery

Associated Press  

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi has been cleared to play again after taking two months to recover from an ankle injury, and Inter Miami indicated that the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will return to the lineup on Saturday when the team plays host to Philadelphia. “Messi is available,” Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said Friday before the team’s training session. Messi’s most recent appearance for Inter Miami was June 1, missing time first while playing for Argentina in the Copa America tournament and then because of the ankle issue. He returned to group training with Inter Miami late last month, and because of a break for ongoing World Cup qualifying matches the team hasn’t played in two weeks — buying him some more time for recovery and conditioning.
