FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami hosted the reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy in a match that saw Lionel Messi return from injury. After missing two weeks due to a muscle injury in his right leg, Messi didn’t start the match but later came on as a second-half substitute. Rodrigo De Paul also entered the game in the second half.

Injured just a few days ago, Lionel Messi returned to action last night for his club Inter Miami in MLS.

Lionel Messi wouldn’t be denied for long.
