Lionel Messi begins on-field workouts, could rejoin Inter Miami before MLS playoffs
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi began individual on-field training this week and could be ready to join Inter Miami on the field before the end of the MLS regular season, Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said Friday. The 37-year-old Messi has been out with a right ankle injury since Argentina’s July 14 Copa America final win over Colombia, when he went down in the second half and tearfully exited the field. Messi will not play when Inter Miami hosts FC Cincinnati on Saturday and was omitted from Argentina’s national team roster for its two September World Cup qualifiers. He has not played for Inter Miami since July 1, but Martino said he could join the team in full training soon. “He is not training with the group. But he is already out on the field and working with the physical trainers,” Martino said, “and he is evolving well. It was foreseeable that he would not be with Argentina because he is not yet in a position to play.”
