As Inter Miami heads toward their final game of the MLS season, there’s been some positive news surrounding the club’s star signing and captain, Lionel Messi. Messi was forced to watch Miami’s last home game at the DRV PNK Stadium from the stands while the franchise’s owner, David Beckham, thanked some high-profile names, including famed sprinter Usain Bolt, for attending the game against Charlotte. However, now, as per reports from the Miami camp, Messi could feature in Inter Miami’s MLS finale, which is an away game to Charlotte FC.

Messi has scored 11 goals and made 8 assists for the Miami outfit this season. But he has struggled with injuries. This has seen his game-time for the club significantly reduce over the past few weeks. Inter Miami crashed out of the race to clinch the final MLS playoff place, coinciding with Messi’s injuries, but he could make one final bow for this season in the Herons’ final MLS game.

Messi will be available for Inter Miami’s final MLS game vs. Charlotte FC

According to a report on X by US journalist Franco Panizo, Messi will be available for selection for Inter Miami’s final MLS match against Charlotte FC. Panizo posted a video on X of Inter Miami assistant coach Javier Morales speaking about Messi’s availability. However, whether he will start or come off the bench remains unknown.

The post on X stated: “Messi will travel, Messi will play. Inter Miami assistant coach Javier Morales said Friday that Messi will be available for selection in Inter Miami’s season finale vs. Charlotte FC, but did not say whether the star will start or come off the bench.”

When it comes to the Asian leagues, the Japanese League and the Chinese Super League’s seasons end in December and November, respectively. This is why Miami is planning to play their exhibition matches against teams from both Asian leagues in the coming two months.

But whether Messi will join his club teammates for the Asia tour or not remains uncertain as reports suggest that he could also be eyeing a loan move like David Beckham and Thierry Henry did before him.

However, it seems as though Messi fans can perhaps get to see their idol play one last game this season in Inter Miami’s colors in the club’s final MLS match against Charlotte this weekend.
