Messi to play two more Inter Miami games before the Copa America

This will be the last week Messi will play for Inter Miami for at least a month as the Copa America approaches quickly. Inter Miami will play against Atlanta United tomorrow, and then they will play against St. Louis City on Saturday. Then, the Argentine star will join the Argentina national team to prepare for Copa America.

The Argentina national team preparation will officially start next Monday, two days after the Inter Miami vs St. Louis City game. Argentina will play a friendly game against Ecuador on June 9th and then another friendly against Guatemala on June 14th. Their first Copa America game will be against Canada on June 20th. Their second group stage game will be against Chile on June 25th. The final group stage game will be played against Peru on June 29th. Argentina is in Group A in the Copa America and has been the defending champion since they won it in 2021. The Copa America runs from June 20th to July 14th, which means if Argentina makes it to the final, Messi could miss up to seven MLS games with Inter Miami this summer.
