Lionel Messi and his injury is the most talked about news in the United States and Argentina, since the Argentine number 10 is the main star of Inter Miami and has been absent three times with David Beckham's team, the same three games that he has not been able to win the team. Now, Tata Martino is asked every time about Lionel's physical condition.

“I look like the biggest ticket seller in the MLS,” he began, referring to the accusations against him of covering up Leo's true status. Immediately afterwards, he continued: “The other day Houston came, and (Amine) Bassi had not played in two games. There was not a single news from Bassi. I understand the circumstance and that's why he answered, but when it's so repetitive I can't help but always say the same thing. “They asked me three days ago, and nothing more than three days and two training sessions passed.”

Later, Martino was complained that they had not given an approximate recovery time, and Gerardo responded: “I would tell you a month if I knew it was a month. You don't run any risk, I make a very serious mistake if I say something hastily. That's why I avoid exact times, if I had them, I would say them."

Messi appeared in practice: he still does not train alongside the group

Lionel was at the Inter Miami facility wearing the team's clothing. However, he performed specific exercises apart from the group and still does not train alongside his teammates. This scenario makes it practically impossible to see him against Chicago, while for Cincinnati it remains a doubt.
