Lionel Messi appears to have confirmed his involvement in Saturday’s MLS clash between Inter Miami and Atlanta United.
The all-time great was left out of Argentina’s friendly against Venezuela on Friday, although his absence is not thought to be related to his fitness. Manager Lionel Scaloni suggested after the game that it was simply a tactical decision to rotate his squad.
As of yet, there has been no formal confirmation from either Argentina or Miami over Messi’s current whereabouts, but he was not mentioned among the international absentees in Miami’s prematch preview.
The 38-year-old appeared to suggest he will be back in action for Javier Mascherano’s side on Saturday in an Instagram story building up to the match which was centered around images of himself in the Miami jersey—a common occurrence from the forward on Miami matchdays when he is playing.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting confirmation from Miami ahead of Saturday’s meeting with a struggling Atlanta outfit.
