After having been disaffected from the call of the Argentine national team to face the double FIFA date on March 22 and 26 in matches against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States, Lionel Messi appears to be on the right track to return to action sooner rather than later in the 2024 season.
Lionel Messi has already begun work to complete his recovery from the muscle injury which is lodged in the hamstring of his right leg and he could already be seen doing movement work at the Inter Miami training ground, with the clear goal of being able to return to play as soon as possible.
Tight and important schedule for Miami
Messi has already started jogging on the playing field and doing exercises in a differentiated way at the training facility at Inter Miami who will also have to assume quite important commitments in their competition calendar for the current season.
Very important matches for ‘Las Garzas’
Those led by Argentine Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino are first in Zone A of Major League Soccer With a total of 10 points under their belt, like the Colombus Crew, they will have to face a key match against Monterrey on April 3 in the first leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. If the recovery of Rosario’s idol is positive and without any setbacks, the Inter Miami captain would start the match against the Mexicans.
The living legend and former player of the Barcelona Football Club, as well as of Paris Saint Germain He has a muscular discomfort in the hamstring of his right leg and the final decision by the Inter Miami coaching staff was to remove him so that he would not have any more physical discomfort and thus be able to treat said injury in the best way, which even earned him the chance to miss the Inter Miami’s victory over DC United, being visitors.
‘Tata’ Martino spoke about Messi’s physical situation
“We are aware that, when the season began, due to different circumstances, Leo out there is not going to be part of all the games. But what I want to point out is that, if he was decisive and had a lot of impact in 15 years in Barcelona, in a couple of years at PSG and throughout his career in the Argentine team, why wouldn’t it be for us. It is not just about replacing a footballer, but the best footballer of all. We have to readjust the game to the lack of it. “One thing is a well-planned game and another is to readjust it a few minutes into the second half,” Martino said after the match against Nashville on March 14.
Argentina ready for the double FIFA date
