Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino has provided a big update on Lionel Messi, who is yet play since the Copa America final.
Messi suffered a nasty ankle injury during the Copa America final in July and had to come off in the second half.
The Argentine has not featured since then, but it seems he could make his return to Major League Soccer action on Saturday.

"He's fine," Martino said when asked about Messi' fitness, as per Goal.
"Yesterday he returned to training. He is contemplated for tomorrow's game and after training we will define the strategy for him, but he is available.
"We are going to once again have the best player in the world within the team so we are all happy about that situation."
Martino did reveal there was a chance that Messi could have missed the game against Philadelphia Union.
"Yes [there was concern], because it came together a bit with everything, the recovery of the ankle and just that throat condition he had, which prevented him from training," Martino added.
"But he had been training quite well and we always thought that Philadelphia was the game to return to. Luckily, this lasted only one day. Yesterday he already trained normally, we are just simply taking into account what has happened to define the strategy for tomorrow."
