When Will Lionel Messi Play Next?
After saying goodbye to his father in the family vault in a cemetery in Rosario on a private visit, nobody knows for sure yet how long the Argentine star intends to spend time with his family. Anyway, the player is fully backed by Inter Miami, whose management allowed him to go back to his home country for any number of days he wants before coming back to the team.
