Lionel Messi’s recovery from his serious ankle injury sustained during the Copa America final is ongoing. The Argentine captain has not yet recovered and missed the final.
Following the injury, Messi returned to America and began his rehabilitation process. He has been regularly attending the gym, but has not yet been able to rejoin practice. Inter Miami coach Tata Martino has stated that Messi’s recovery is progressing steadily and he expects him to be back within the expected timeframe.
Initial reports suggested Messi would require 4 to 6 weeks to recover from the injury, and with this timeline, he is expected to be back on the field soon.
Miami will face Toronto FC in the League Cup last-32 clash on Thursday night local time. While Messi’s status for the match is still uncertain, teammate Luis Suarez is recovering from a knee injury and is available to play.
