View Date:2024-12-23 15:38:00
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi will return to the lineup on Saturday night when Inter Miami hosts D.C. United at Chase Stadium.
Messi is in the starting lineup, the club announced, and the match has begun at 8:05 p.m. ET after a weather delay.
“The goat is back today,” Inter Miami posted on social media before the game.
Messi was not listed on the MLS injury report after practicing Friday, despite being injured after a CF Montreal player collided into him in a 3-2 win last Saturday and missing a scoreless draw against Orlando City on Wednesday as a precaution.
Messi hopes to get back on track after his eight-game streak with a goal and assist ended in Montreal. Messi ranks second in MLS with 10 goals and first with 12 assists for first-place Inter Miami.
Messi has four matches remaining in the next two weeks with Inter Miami before joining Argentina for Copa America next month.
