Lionel Messi poised to make Inter Miami comeback following two-month injury absence

Martino confirmed that the player is doing well and is a part of the plans for the upcoming game. He trained the day before and will be available for selection. After training, the team will work on the strategy involving him.

"To get back the best player in the world to our team, which was already on a good run, we are all very happy with this situation," said Martino.

Messi got injured in the Copa America semifinal against Canada but did make it to the final against Colombia where his side was victorious. However, the injury forced him to miss the next two months of action including the recently concluded international break. He along with Angel de Maria were not available for selection for the first time in 12 years in Argentina with the latter announcing his retirement from the game.

In the absence of Messi, Roma star Paulo Dybala wore the iconic No.10 shirt for the nation as he also scored a goal.

Despite Messi not being part of the team, Miami have done reasonably well having scalped 53 points in 25 matches and leading the Eastern Conference. They are all but qualified for the MLS playoffs and will cement their place in the coming days.

It has been a year of revolution for the Florida-based club having gone from bottom of the league to now potential winners of the MLS.
