Lionel Messi continued his recuperation process in Florida for FIFA Day, and the fact that he was able to make an appearance on the training field was definitely a positive indication for Inter Miami.

A week after suffering an injury in the encounter against Nashville, Messi remained in Florida in order to hasten his rehabilitation. This occurred when the Argentina team was gathering in Philadelphia, which is located in the United States.

Injury management is something that needs to be done on a weekly basis, in addition to today’s absence. Taking advantage of the fact that we had an entire week to continuously assess it, we did so. It is unmistakable that has aspirations to reach a level of physical fitness that will allow him to participate in the quarterfinals of the Concachampions. Consequently, anything that involves any kind of risk is something that we will not do,” Gerardo Martino, the coach, stated after his team defeated DC United 3-1 without his captain contributing.

Because Messi is willing to take chances, he is playing friendly matches against Argentina. And in the end, La Pulga made the decision to remain in Miami in order to recuperate. In light of this, it is projected that Messi will be required to miss a total of 21 days of action, which includes the matches against New York Red Bull (which will take place on March 23) and New York City (which will take place on March 30).

In order to attain optimal circumstances for the first leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals versus Rayados de Monterrey, Leo started his recovery process when the Argentina team was in Philadelphia. This was done in order to ensure that he would be healthy enough to play. The gym at Inter Miami was the location where Messi participated in recovery activities on Tuesday. Furthermore, on Wednesday, the tenth player, who was not accompanied by the rest of his colleagues, went out onto the field to perform a warm-up walk. It is encouraging for Inter Miami to see that Messi’s recovery process is making progress, as this indicates that he is making improvement.

Martino will have to prepare the starting lineup for Inter Miami’s next encounter in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in order to keep the team in first place, despite the fact that there will be a large number of players absent. Among the players who have sustained injuries are Messi, Franco Negri, Ian Fray, Benjamín Cremaschi, Facundo Farias, and Robbie Robinson. Leonardo Campana and Nicolas Freire, on the other hand, are being treated with mistrust as a result of the numerous upsets.

In addition to being absent due to physical issues, Martino is unable to rely on those who have been called up to the national team this time.
