Lionel Messi is back! Inter Miami star named in Herons' squad for Colorado Rapids match after missing the last month of action with hamstring injury

 Lionel Messi is set to return this weekend from a month-long injury absence, as he was named in Inter Miami's squad for their match vs. the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Messi suffered a hamstring injury on March 13 vs. Nashville SC in a CONCACAF Champions Cup match, in which he departed after 50 minutes.

The Argentine missed three league games while he was sidelined (Miami went 1-1-1) and also sat out the team's CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal first leg loss vs. Monterrey on Wednesday.

While Messi is back, seven players have been ruled out of the Colorado match, including winger Robert Taylor.

Including the 2-1 loss to Monterrey earlier this week, the Herons have failed to win their last three matches in all competitions.
