Messi resumes Inter Miami training ten days after World Cup final loss

Lionel Messi rejoined Inter Miami on Tuesday following Argentina’s 1‑0 loss to Spain in the World Cup final, a defeat that sparked widespread speculation about his retirement from international football. The Argentine forward, who captained his national team in the tournament, arrived at the club’s training facility in Fort Lauderdale after the final in Doha, marking his first appearance with the MLS side since the competition concluded.

Messi’s return comes as Inter Miami prepares for its upcoming league fixtures, with the club confirming his participation in the next match against Nashville SC. While the Argentine Football Association has not issued an official statement regarding his future, Messi’s presence in Miami suggests he will continue his club commitments regardless of any decision about his national team career. The forward’s focus now shifts to contributing to Miami’s campaign as the MLS season progresses.
