Inter Miami will once again play without Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Leonardo Campana during their match against the Chicago Fire. Messi and Alba have been out for the past three games due to injuries sustained on September 20. Despite their absence, Inter Miami hopes to secure a win against the Fire in their push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Currently, Inter Miami is only four points away from a playoff position. However, the absence of Messi and Alba has made it challenging for the team. Messi has been recovering from fatigue and a hamstring issue, which worsened during his time with the Argentine national team. He is expected to return to action against FC Cincinnati this weekend.
The Chicago Fire has sold out Soldier Field for this match.
In Messi’s absence, Facundo Farias has taken his place in the lineup, while Robert Taylor will also play a crucial role in Inter Miami’s attack.
