Lionel Messi returned to Inter Miami training as the MLS side are gearing up to face Monterrey on Thursday.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Argentina star has been out with a hamstring injury for over two weeks after being subbed off during Inter Miami’s clash against Nashville last month. Since then he has missed two Major League Soccer matches and also pulled out of the Argentina squad for their friendlies during the last international break.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
However, the 36-year-old has seemingly recovered from the injury and was spotted back on the training pitch on Tuesday as the Herons prepare to take on Liga MX giants Monterrey in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final fixture.
WHAT NEXT FOR INTER MIAMI?
Gerardo Martino’s side will be back in MLS action after their CONCACAF Champions Cup clash on April 7 as they take on Colorado Rapids. Herons boss Tata Martino will no doubt provide an update on his star man’s fitness in his pre-match press conference.
