Lionel Messi Set for Potential Return to Inter Miami Roster Against Philadelphia Union

After recovering from an adductor muscle strain, Messi is expected to be included in the matchday roster, though his playing time remains uncertain.

Lionel Messi is likely to be named to Inter Miami's matchday roster for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Union, following his recovery from an adductor strain sustained on March 16.
Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano confirmed Messi's progress, noting that the player has been gradually reintroduced to full training sessions with the team.
Messi's potential return comes as Inter Miami begins a demanding stretch of five matches in 16 days, which may limit his playing time as he regains full fitness.
The Philadelphia Union currently lead the MLS Eastern Conference with 12 points from a 4-1-0 record and feature the league's top scorer, Tai Baribo, with six goals.
Inter Miami has demonstrated resilience in Messi's absence, winning all three games he missed this season, showcasing the depth and adaptability of their roster.
