After more than two weeks out of action, Lionel Messi is clear to play for Inter Miami this weekend in the MLS. Messi's last game was on March 13th in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16, where Inter Miami won 3-1. Messi only played 50 minutes in that match, where he scored a goal and provided an assist. Messi's last MLS game was over a month ago when Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 5-0, and the Argentine scored a brace. Inter Miami will play against the Colorado Rapids tomorrow at the Chase Stadium, where it is expected to be sold out due to Lionel Messi's return. Inter Miami are happy to see the Argentine star back as he benefits them on the pitch and off it.

Inter Miami posted the full roster that will be available for the MLS game against the Colorado Rapids, and Lionel Messi's name was on the list. Messi was expected to be back in the previous game against Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, but the club did not want to risk him. Now that he is fully fit again, the Chase Stadium tomorrow is expected to be sold out.

Some tickets are available on the Inter Miami official website, with prices available for around $90 to more than $200. The majority of tickets seemed to range around the $150 mark. With the price being the minimum and the full capacity of the Chase Stadium being 21,550 seats, the minimum revenue Inter Miami could gain from a sold-out stadium to watch Messi, the club could earn more than $3.2 million.
