Apr 05, 2024 at 06:13 PM ETFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi is coming back to Inter Miami's lineup, with the team saying his absence for a hamstring injury will end Saturday at home in an MLS match against the Colorado Rapids.Messi has missed Inter Miami's last four games, including one Wednesday when the club wasted a 1-0 lead and lost 2-1 to Mexico’s Monterrey in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal.
Early Saturday, Monterrey confirmed that it lodged a complaint to CONCACAF about what transpired postgame. It isn't clear what, if any, sanctions Inter Miami could face. “We have expressed to CONCACAF our official position on the unfortunate events that occurred in the locker room area after the match on Wednesday, April 3 in Miami,” the Mexican team said.
The second leg of the Miami-Monterrey series is Wednesday. And Messi would figure to be available for that, given that he will be in the lineup on Saturday. Messi hasn't played since March 13, and also missed Argentina’s exhibitions last month against El Salvador and Costa Rica. He trained with Miami on Friday.
