Lionel Messi is not going through his best time at Inter Miami.

It is the topic that is on everyone's lips in the United States and in Argentina, what is happening to Lionel Messi and when will he be available to return to the fields with Inter Miami? It is an uncertain and alarming issue, because what began with a physical discomfort could actually become bad news that leaves Messi without playing for the rest of the season...

Inter Miami was one of the weakest teams in the entire Major League Soccer, however, everything took a 180 degree turn with the arrival of Lionel Andres Messi, and proof of this is that they were champions of the new Leagues Cup. Now After the Argentine's injury, the reality is that Inter Miami has gone three consecutive games without winning and has already put its qualification for the MLS playoffs at risk.

Now, although it is known that the '10' will not be part of the roster against Chicago, Gastón Edul announced that Messi would return against Cincinnati on October 7, just before traveling with the Argentine National Team for the matches against Paraguay and Peru for the third and fourth dates of the South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup. However, although both Lionel and the Inter coaching staff point to this, it is not a 100% confirmed certainty.

How did Inter Miami do the last time they faced Cincinnati?

First of all, it is worth mentioning that this franchise is considered the best in the MLS today. However, the Herons emerged victorious when they met before them in the semifinals of the US Open Cup. The match took place on August 23 at the TQL Stadium and it seemed that the locals would win the match, but Josef Martínez forced extra time, both teams scored a few more goals per side and Inter won on penalties. What was Messi's contribution? Two pinpoint assists.
