Inter Miami confirmed this Friday that Lionel Messi was called up by Gerardo Martino for the next match for the MLS against Colorado Rapids, to be played this Saturday.
The world champion overcame his hamstring injury in his right leg, which he had suffered since last March 13, which had also sidelined him from the Argentine National Team’s tour of the United States.
In any case, the coaching staff has not yet confirmed whether the player from Rosario will start, or if he will only play a few minutes.
“He’s back,” the Florida team announced on their social networks, along with a photo of Messi. The message is a nod to that historic statement from Michael Jordan (“I’m back”) when he announced that he was returning to basketball.
The team led by Martino is second to Cincinnati in Zone A of the MLS with 11 points, the product of three wins, two draws and two losses. After the match against Colorado Rapids, the Garzas will face Monterrey in Mexico in the second leg of the Concachampions.
The match between Inter Miami and Colorado Rapids will be played this Saturday starting at 8:30 p.m. and can be followed through the Apple TV platform, with the MLS Season Pass.
