Inter Miami returns to Chase Stadium, where this Saturday they will host FC Cincinnati, the current leader of the Eastern Conference of the MLS, and a rival that just 10 days ago the team led by Javier Mascherano defeated at home and by a landslide.
But Cincinnati, which has 7 points more than Inter Miami in the standings, but also three more games, will arrive with a desire for revenge. And they have an unexpected advantage: Leonel Messi will not be able to play in this duel. The captain of the Herons was suspended for one game after not attending the MLS All-Star Game last week. The same sanction was received by Jordi Alba.
Without the first goalkeeper, Óscar Ustari, injured, Ríos Novo will be in goal; in defense, Weigandt, Avilés, Luján, and Cremaschi; in midfield, Allende, Redondo, and, today as captain, Sergio Busquets; up front, Fafa Picault, Suárez, and Segovia.
The team led by Pat Noonan will make changes, compared to the team that just beat Real Salt Lake with a goal from Luca Orellano: in goal will be Celentano, and in defense, Miazga and Engel will join Robinson in the back three; Yedlin and Orellano will play on the wings; Anunga and Bucha in midfield; Evander up front; and Kamara and Valenzuela will form the attacking duo.
