Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino has revealed the return for Lionel Messi, who is yet to feature for the team since returning from the Copa America.
Messi suffered an ankle injury in the Copa America final and did not finish the match, as the world champions went on to defeat Colombia.
The Argentine forward missed Miami's Leagues Cup campaign, with Martino now revealing the injury was more serious than they had initially thought.

"He is not training with the group. But yes, he is already out on the field and working with the physical trainers," Martino said, as per ESPN.
"He is developing well, it was foreseeable that he would not be with Argentina because he is not yet in a position to play, but we continue to see him develop. There is no estimate, because you are already starting to see how you feel as you add training on the field."
"I wouldn't be able to give an approximate number of days that he returns to training but it is not a situation that is too far away.
"There is a part of the injuries that have to do with the physical and there is a part of the injuries that has to do with the mental, so we have to overcome them both ways and I think that he is going through that process.
"He is feeling better and better, he has been working in the field for three or four days now. We cannot give time because we do not know and it would be speculating about something that may not be possible to do, but it is close."
