Lionel Messi is expected to return for Inter Miami’s match against the Philadelphia Union after missing Argentina’s recent World Cup qualifiers due to an adductor injury. Despite his absence, Argentina secured their 2026 World Cup spot with wins over Uruguay and Brazil. Messi has resumed training, and coach Javier Mascherano confirmed he will likely be included in the matchday squad. Philadelphia, led by top scorer Tai Baribo, aims to challenge Miami, which has won all three games without Messi this season. However, Messi’s unique ability to create goals remains a key factor. The high-stakes match will determine early dominance in the MLS Eastern Conference standings.
