Lionel Messi, who was spotted exercising by himself on Tuesday at Inter Miami’s training facility, is getting closer to making a full recovery from his injury.

Messi hasn’t played for the Dolphins since he was forced to be replaced after 37 minutes of action due to a muscular ailment he sustained during Miami’s 4-0 victory against Toronto last month.

Tata Martino and the squad’s captain have missed the last three games, which has hurt the team.
