QatarLionel Messi has resumed training with Inter Miami 10 days after Argentina's World Cup final loss to Spain, where they fell 1-0 in extra time. Messi, who is 39 years old, missed the first two MLS matches following the tournament but did not affect the team's six-match winning streak. He opted out of participating in the MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game to spend time with his father, Jorge, who is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. Messi capped his World Cup campaign with eight goals and four assists, falling short of equalling Brazil's historic consecutive World Cup victory streak.

Inter Miami currently sits two points behind Nashville SC in the Eastern Conference standings, and it is unclear whether Messi will play in their next match against the Columbus Crew.
