On September 10, Inter Miami posted the latest image of Messi on the training ground to prepare for the match against Philadelphia Union at 6:30 a.m. on September 15 at Chase Stadium in the MLS. At the same time, goalkeeper Oscar Ustari also debuted.

Inter Miami returned to training after a break of nearly 2 weeks. Messi has been practicing separately during this time, before returning with his teammates to prepare for the first official match since the Copa America final in mid-July.

Messi’s return helps Inter Miami significantly increase its strength in the remaining stage of the MLS scoring round. Accordingly, in the remaining 7 matches, the team of Mr. David Beckham as president and co-owner only needs to win 15 points out of 21 maximum points to secure the Supporters’ Shield championship title.

Inter Miami has also officially added veteran goalkeeper Oscar Ustari (38 years old, Argentinian), temporarily replacing reserve goalkeeper CJ dos Santos who was injured and had to undergo surgery.

Currently, Inter Miami has 59 points after 27 matches, leading the Eastern region rankings, 8 points ahead of the second-placed team FC Cincinnati. Including the Western region (a total of 29 clubs), Inter Miami is still leading and 7 points ahead of the second-placed team LA Galaxy (28 matches played). Potential opponents that can usurp Inter Miami’s throne, Columbus Crew, are currently ranked 4th with 49 points after 26 matches.
