PHOTOS: Messi, Busquets train with Inter Miami teammates for first time

<p>Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets have both got down to business with their new Inter Miami team-mates on Tuesday, taking part in their first full training session with the Major League Soccer club.</p>, <p>The former Barcelona players took to the club’s training field at 9am local time with temperatures already above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).</p>, <p>Over 200 media representatives attended the session in sharp contrast to Miami’s training sessions that had barely attracted double figure attendance from the media prior to the duo’s arrival.</p>, <p>Messi and Busquets had been unveiled to the club’s supporters at the stadium on Sunday at a celebratory event alongside Miami co-owner David Beckham and his first game is scheduled for Friday.</p>, <p>Miami, who are ranked last in the 29-team MLS, face Mexican club Cruz Azul in the opening game of the new Leagues Cup, a tournament style competition featuring all top flight teams from MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX.</p>, <p>It is not clear yet if either Messi or Busquets will start that game or make a cameo appearance from the substitute’s bench.</p>, <p>Unlike in most of Europe, MLS’s season runs from late February to the end of October, followed by the playoffs and the championship game, MLS Cup, on December 9.</p>, <p>Despite sitting rock bottom of the Eastern Conference with the worst recording in the league, Miami are not mathematically ruled out of contention for the playoffs but it would take a huge impact from both ex-Barca stars to turn their season around.</p>
