Lionel Messi‘s absence from Inter Miami‘s lineup may be coming to an end.
The Argentine World Cup winner, who has missed Miami’s last four games with a leg injury, returned to full practice on Thursday and Friday ahead of Saturday’s MLS game at home to FC Cincinnati.

“You have to evaluate him … He trained [Thursday] and will train [Friday]. But every day it gets better.” Miami assistant coach Javier Morales told reporters in Spanish before Friday’s practice.
The club hinted at a positive outcome later in the day, using social media to post “Nos vemos mañana” — translation, “see you tomorrow” with a photo of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The team did not elaborate about a possible return to the lineup for Messi.
