Lionel Messi missed Inter Miami's last few games due to injury. The Argentine suffered discomfort during last month's FIFA International Break. As a result, the Argentine missed several games that meant that The Herons were unable to take advantage of key matches to continue adding points towards the MLS playoffs. Because of this, the team was eliminated.
Despite missing several games, Inter Miami did not miss the opportunity to continue delivering in front of their fans. Yesterday, Miami tied against Charlotte FC at DRV PNK Stadium. It should be noted that Lionel Messi was present at the match as a spectator. In the same way, the player had a good trip to South America where he even achieved important things.

Gerardo Martino spoke about whether or not Messi will play in this match.
