Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is ready to return from an injury for Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Galaxy in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Said head coach Javier Mascherano Friday.
The 38-year-old attacker missed the last two games of the herons with a right leg injury sustained in the first half of a competition cup win against Necaxa on 2 August.
Messi returned to the training earlier this week.
«Leo is fine,» said Mascherano. «He has been with the team since Wednesday. We believe that if nothing unusual happens, he will be called for tomorrow’s game.»
Messi is connected to Sam Surridge from Nashville in the race for the MLS Golden Boot with 18 goals. The eight-time balloon d’Or winner from Argentina also has 10 assists in 17 ml matches this season.
Miami (12-5-6, 42 points) is in sixth place in the rankings of the Eastern Conference, currently six points above the Play-Off Cutline. The herons have also reached the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup.
