REPORT: A recent report provides insights into whether Lionel Messi will participate in Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup opener against Club Puebla this weekend.

The Argentine international returned to Florida last week after winning the Copa America, but his victory came with a downside as Lionel Messi twisted his ankle in the final. This injury sidelined him for the last two games and the MLS All-Star week. With the Leagues Cup starting on Saturday, there are increasing concerns about Messi’s fitness for Inter Miami’s match, especially since he was seen at Chase Stadium over the weekend wearing a protective boot.

New details have now surfaced regarding Messi’s potential participation against Puebla.
