Previously, on September 26, both Messi and Jordi Alba were absent from the training session with the entire Inter Miami team.
Messi in training before the America's Cup final
All the attention of Inter Miami fans and the whole of America is whether Messi will recover in time from his old injury scar tissue and physical condition to return to training and play in the America's Cup final against Houston Dynamo FC.
"We will wait until the last minute to see if Messi can play or not. This is a very difficult decision. We cannot take risks. However, this is a final, so we must also consider it carefully and be ready to wait more time to make a final decision," coach Tata Martino told the US press on September 26, in a quick interview after the first training session when Messi and Jordi Alba were both absent.
However, in the following training session, Messi and Jordi Alba both appeared on the field as usual. This development confused the American press. Many questions continued to be raised for coach Tata Martino in the official press conference in the early morning of September 27 (Vietnam time).

"When you left (US press), Messi and Jordi Alba were already on the training pitch. That's why you didn't see them. However, as I said, we still have to wait until the last minute to see if they can play or not. With Jordi Alba, the situation seems a bit difficult because he is not yet fully fit. But with Messi, it's fine, he is not injured, he doesn't need surgery, he just still feels discomfort in his right leg," coach Tata Martino shared.
According to journalist Gaston Edul of TyC Sports (Argentina): "Messi will definitely be in the Inter Miami squad for the America's Cup final against Houston Dynamo FC. But the possibility of him playing in the official squad is very low. He can sit on the bench, only entering the field at the most appropriate and necessary time."
