Inter Miami face a quick turnaround when they host the Seattle Sounders in midweek Major League Soccer action.
The Herons face a busy schedule as Decision Day looms given the need for rescheduled matches amid FIFA Club World Cup, Leagues Cup and Concacaf Champions Cup participation throughout this season. Inter Miami have played just 26 regular-season games at this point in the season while a good chunk of teams have already hit 30 in total.
To make matters worse, head coach Javier Mascherano continues to deal with a light squad given injuries and suspensions.
If Miami were to win their four games in hand, they would shoot up to the top of the Eastern Conference. Easier said than done, however, as they play eight games between Sept. 16 and Oct. 18. First up: a Leagues Cup final rematch against Seattle.
Luis Suárez continues to serve out his suspension for his role in a post-match scuffle while Tomás Avilés was sent off over the weekend against Charlotte.
Here’s how the Herons could line up vs. Seattle.
