As Inter Miami prepare for their clash with Philadelphia Union this weekend, they were put through their paces, but the Miami Herald reports that Messi was absent. He had been expected to make his comeback this weekend following a two-month lay-off.
Messi's bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, was present as members of the media watched on, an indication that he was present at Miami's training base, potentially training alone. The club have not communicated that he has sustained another injury or a setback in his recovery, and the Herald point out that he may have participated in the training sessions that weren't open to the media.
Miami are leading the race to win the Supporters Shield, with just seven games of the season to go. Messi has missed 20 of 35 games thus far this year but he's expected to return as the Herons go in pursuit of a maiden MLS Cup.
Miami play the Union this weekend. They will hope to be able to reintroduce Messi to the field, provided he is fit enough to play.
