Just 10 days after the heartbreak of that World Cup final defeat, 39-year-old Lionel Messi has flown from his hometown of Rosario back to Florida, throwing himself into a full training session at Inter Miami's base. He had scored eight goals at the tournament, and the emotional wounds were still raw, with the forward writing on social media, "The pain is immense and it will take time for this wound to heal." Even so, he looked motivated and ready when he stepped out to train. Waiting for him at the base was a recovered German Pezzella, though his closest teammate, Rodrigo De Paul, is still being rested on the manager's orders.
