Messi Returns
After Missing Out in Orlando, Messi Looks to Boost Inter Miami's Attack
TYC Sports journalist Gaston Edul has revealed that Lionel Messi is poised to make his return this weekend after completing full training sessions on both Thursday and Friday, fully participating with the Herons. Messi was absent from Miami's midweek 0-0 draw against Orlando City due to a knock sustained over the previous weekend.
Miami noticeably struggled in attack without their star player on Wednesday, with Luis Suarez even being substituted in the 61st minute in an effort to change their fortunes. The absence of Messi from the bench and the team's trip to Orlando was keenly felt, as his presence usually provides a confidence boost to his teammates.
However, there's good news for Miami fans as Messi is expected to be back in action on Saturday, aiming to lead his team back to the top. Since joining South Beach in the summer of 2023, Miami have struggled without Messi, managing a record of 2 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses across all competitions. In stark contrast, when Messi plays, they boast a significantly improved record of 15 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses.
Miami's next challenge comes against D.C. United on Saturday evening, a crucial Eastern Conference clash where they will seek to bounce back from their midweek performance and extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches.
