Messi is back! Inter Miami have announced their match day roster for the MLS game against Colorado Rapids, which will be played at Chase Stadium on April 6 (KO 7:30 p.m. ET./4:30 p.m. PT) – and Messi is a part of the list.

The World Cup winner has been out of the squad since picking up an injury almost a month ago, and the side has struggled without him, going winless in their last 4 games.

Now, he is back and will look to feature for at least some minutes in the game against the side from the Western Conference. Colorado sit 7th after 6 games with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.
