A Preston North End star could line up against eight time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi next month.
Preston North End star Liam Millar isn't taking a break this summer as he continues to train ahead of what could be a busy period for him. The 24-year-old is back in his native Canada after the season ended more three weeks ago. Footballers are afforded down time when their campaigns finish, but Millar isn't putting his feet up. He's been training with Athelite Lab in Canada, alongside fitness training Juan Patarroyo.
It is an opportunity for Millar to impress the new manager and earn his place in the Canada squad for the Copa America which runs from June 20 to July 14. Canada play the Netherlands in their opening match on Friday, June 21 and that could see Millar line up against Lionel Messi, as well as many other World Cup winning stars. They also play Peru and Chile .
