– THE PREVIOUS –
This Saturday, September 16, Inter Miami returns after this month’s FIFA doubleheader with Argentinian star Lionel Messi and Honduran David Ruiz.
Starting at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host this game, which is very important for both clubs if they want to move into the Major League Soccer playoff ranks.
Inter Miami are six points ahead of the qualifying spots held by DC United with 34 points in the current competition. The “Herons” have 28, but today they could further reduce distances and units.
Atlanta United is the former team of “Tata” Martino and with this team he was crowned champions in the 2018 season. In addition, this club has 42 points and is in sixth place in the table in its conference.
This duel also marks the return of David Ruiz and Lionel Messi. The two footballers were present at the FIFA meeting with their national teams. The Catracho midfielder appeared with Honduras against Granada in the Nations League.
For his part, Leo Messi scored the winning goal for Argentina against Ecuador, but had to take a break against Bolivia in La Paz.
SO FAIR
In addition, the Inter Miami coach reported that the Qatar 2022 World Cup winner did not travel with the club for this game. The footballer would not be 100% satisfied with the physical problem and that would be one of the reasons why he will not play against Atlanta United.
