The 37-year-old striker suffered a right-ankle injury in Argentina’s victory over Colombia in last month’s Copa America final. Miami coach Gerardo Martino said on Wednesday that Messi had continued to improve but had not practiced with his Inter teammates since suffering the injury and would not be in the lineup against the Canadian club.


“Leo is getting better every day,” Martino said. “He’s still training in the gym but looks better every time.” Martino said Messi was progressing along the timeline the team expected but did not reveal exactly when that might see him return to the field. Inter Miami has won seven of eight matches without Messi since he left the squad.
