Will Lionel Messi Play in Inter Miami's Leagues Cup Semifinal against the Philadelphia Union?

Inter Miami may be facing a potential setback as they prepare for their Leagues Cup semifinal against the Philadelphia Union. Lionel Messi, the Argentine superstar, appeared to pick up a minor injury during training on Monday. While head coach Tata Martino downplayed any concerns, footage captured by ESPN Argentina showed Messi tweaking his ankle.

Despite the injury, Messi has traveled with the team to Philadelphia. Inter Miami has enjoyed a perfect start to the season since Messi's arrival, winning all five of their matches. Messi has been in sensational form, scoring eight goals in just five games.

However, the Philadelphia Union will pose a tough challenge for Inter Miami. The Union, MLS Cup runners-up last season, have an impressive home record, having lost only once in their last 41 games at Subaru Park.

The winner of this semifinal match will advance to the Leagues Cup final and secure a berth in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Messi is fit enough to play in this crucial match. Inter Miami will be hoping that their star player can contribute to their continued success on the field.
