Lionel Messi injury: Here’s the latest before Inter Miami vs. Montreal, how to watch Sunday
View Date:2024-12-23 16:49:55
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez participated in recovery workouts inside the team’s facility, but were not seen working out with teammates during a practice session open to media Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s home game against CF Montreal.
Messi, who was kicked in his legendary left leg but played to the end of Wednesday’s Champions Cup match in Nashville, is considered healthy after the injury scare and only came away with a leg bruise, Inter Miami assistant coach Javi Morales said Saturday.
Inter Miami had a day off Friday, and the entire team will be evaluated after Saturday’s training before a lineup is set for the Montreal game. It’s unclear whether Messi will play when Inter Miami hosts Montreal at Chase Stadium on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, as Major League Soccer saves it best for last in its third week of the 2024 MLS season.
“Leo is a player that wants to play all the matches,” Morales said before practice. “I think it’s going to be a conversation with him to see how he feels, how he’s doing and decide what’s best for him because he’s been playing in all the matches 90 minutes. We’ll make the best decision ahead of [Sunday].”
