TOKYO (AP) — Look for Lionel Messi to play in Wednesday's friendly in Tokyo with Inter Miami facing Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
He sat alone on a stool on stage, wore a pink warm-up jacket, and showed a bit of humility.
But I feel much better and I really want to be able to do it.”Messi tried to explain to Hong Kong fans, saying it was impossible for him to play with a groin injury.
Through five games from El Salvador, to Dallas, to Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, Inter Miami has won only once and has been outscored 12-7.
“I hope we can return and we can play another game and I can be present,” he said.
