While his participation in the Leagues Cup clash against Club Leon remains highly unlikely, Lionel Messi is reportedly set to return to Miami on Wednesday. Lionel Messi made an emergency flight to Argentina following the passing of his father, leaving Inter Miami in the middle of their 2026 Leagues Cup campaign. Now, reports indicate that the Argentine superstar is scheduled to return to Miami on Wednesday, though his participation in the team’s group stage finale against Club Leon remains highly unlikely. According to Argentine news outlet Todo Noticias, Messi is expected to arrive back in the United States on Wednesday. The forward will depart his hometown of Rosario in Santa Fe, Argentina, with his flight scheduled to take off at 10:30 p.m. local time. The expectation is for Messi to arrive by Wednesday afternoon to gradually resume activities with Inter Miami. However, with the Leagues Cup matchup against Club Leon scheduled for that same night at 9:30 p.m. ET, his availability for the match remains in serious doubt. When asked about a potential return ahead of the fixture against the Mexican side, Inter Miami head coach Guillermo Hoyos stated that he had “nothing” regarding the star’s exact timeline. Una dedicatoria desde el corazón para nuestro 10. 🩷 pic.twitter.com/sB2VVeqIcD— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) August 10, 2026 A return to South Florida alongside his family does not necessarily mean Messi will immediately rejoin squad activities. According to reports from Argentina, Inter Miami executives are granting their team captain full autonomy to manage his personal timeline before returning to the pitch. Timeline of Messi’s time in Argentina After receiving word of his father’s passing, Messi departed Fort Lauderdale on a private jet Saturday, August 8, landing at Islas Malvinas Airport in Fisherton before traveling directly to reunite with his brothers and close relatives. The Messi family gathered at El Prado private cemetery in Perez, a city adjacent to Rosario, to pay their final respects to Jorge Messi. On Sunday afternoon, Messi left the memorial grounds to return to his residence in the gated community of Kentucky in Funes. Over the past several days, he has spent private time surrounded by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, their sons, and extended family. What lies ahead for Inter Miami? On the pitch, Inter Miami find themselves on the brink of elimination from the 2026 Leagues Cup while navigating a severe roster crunch along the frontline. Their crucial group stage match against Club Leon is set for Wednesday, August 12, and while the club are skating on thin ice in international play, the coming weeks will prove equally critical. On Saturday, the Herons travel to GEODIS Park to square off against Nashville SC in a high-stakes clash for the top spot in the 2026 Supporters’ Shield standings. Nashville currently lead the Supporters’ Shield race with 40 points, while Inter Miami sit close behind in second place with 38 points. Following that marquee fixture, Inter Miami will remain on the road to take on the Philadelphia Union next Wednesday.

Benjamin Mendy has sold the replica 2018 World Cup trophy FIFA awarded him at auction. In 2018, Benjamin Mendy lifted the World Cup at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium as part of the France squad that beat Croatia 4-2 in the final. Seven years later, that gold-plated memory has a price tag: the left-back has sold the official replica trophy FIFA gave him as a champion for roughly $62,200 at auction. The sale went through American collectibles house Goldin as part of its “Global Football Auction Part 2,” a sale that also featured memorabilia tied to names like Lamine Yamal, Pelé, and Lionel Messi, and closed on July 25. The piece up for grabs wasn’t the actual World Cup trophy, which stays in FIFA’s possession, but the identical replica FIFA and the French federation hand every world champion as a personal keepsake, standing roughly 38 centimeters tall. It was listed with a crack at its base and visible wear, and the winning bidder received a certificate signed by Mendy to authenticate it. Mendy had a brief participation at the 2018 World Cup Mendy, now 32, played a bit-part role in that Russia 2018 run under Didier Deschamps, coming on for 40 minutes in a 0-0 group-stage draw with Denmark while Lucas Hernandez started every other match at left-back. Benjamin Mendy of France celebrates with the World Cup Trophy. (Getty Images) France‘s path to the title included wins over Argentina in the round of 16, Uruguay in the quarterfinals, and Belgium in the semifinals before the final against Croatia. Mendy’s career: a fall from the top Mendy’s path to that World Cup medal ran through Le Havre, where he broke into the first team in 2011 after coming up through the reserves, before a move to Olympique de Marseille in 2013 for three seasons. He then joined Monaco, where he won the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title as part of the young squad that also produced Kylian Mbappé, and that breakout campaign earned him a move to Manchester City in 2017 for a then-world-record fee for a defender. His six years at City were repeatedly derailed by injuries and, later, a major legal setback that kept him out of football entirely for two years before he was cleared in 2023. City released him following that ordeal, and his career never recovered its old level: a brief, appearance-less spell at Lorient came next, followed by a short stint at Swiss side FC Zürich, before he signed with Poland’s Pogoń Szczecin in September 2025, where he currently plays.
