On March 13, Lionel Messi left with an injury in the 50th minute of the match against Nashville in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Since then, the Argentine superstar has been fighting to return. Messi could not play for Argentina during the international break due to an injury. And without Messi, Miami was winless in all three after playing four matches.
Now the eyes of the fans are on whether Messi will return for the Major League Soccer (MLS) match against Colorado. In the meantime, Messi has been kept in the announced squad for Inter Miami. However, it is not yet certain whether he will be able to play on the field or for how long he will be able to play. However, Inter Miami wants to play Messi for 10 minutes in this match. ย Earlier, this was said by the team’s assistant coach, Javier Morales, while giving an update on Messi’s fitness.
“He is slowly getting ready,” Morales said about Messi’s return. We will see how he feels today, then decide on Saturday’s match. He is practicing daily with the physiotherapist and on the field. Sometimes it depends on how he feels. He continues to practice.’

“We will see how he feels in training,” Morales said, adding that he would like to have Messi for at least 10 minutes. If he feels good, I’m sure Tata (coach Gerardo Martino) will consider him, whether it’s for 10, 15, or 45 minutes. We want to have him. We will do our best for that; that is the most important thing. We will take a decision based on tomorrow’s match, and then we will see what happens on Wednesday.”

Next Wednesday, Inter Miami and Monterrey will play in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Earlier, Miami, without Messi, lost 2-1 in the first-leg match. Miami is now desperate to win the second leg. And having a fully fit Messi ahead of the match will surely boost the team’s confidence.
The numbers are the only way to comprehend Messi’s impact on the team. With Messi, Miami won 11 out of 19 games, lost 2, and drew 6. Miami has only triumphed in two of its twelve games without Messi. Conversely, there are three draws and seven losses.
