Inter Miami are delighted to prepare for a Major League Soccer playoff appearance tonight at Atlanta United’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Georgia – where fans and observers are hoping that Lionel Messi may grace the field! Fans and observers are buzzing with anticipation in anticipation.
Inter Miami defeated Tata Martino’s squad by 2-1 on October 26, and Lionel Messi was an integral component throughout. But on November 17, as precaution, he was benched during their match versus New England Revolution for six days prior to coming on later and scoring his hattrick! Given this important match-up and having had six days’ rest since last playing against Atlanta United on Sunday afternoon, it appears likely he will indeed lead their attack once more tonight against Atlanta United.
Despite not scoring in the previous match, where Inter Miami took an early lead thanks to a goal from Luis Suarez and sealed the win with a strike from Jordi Alba, Messi’s potential inclusion in tonight’s game is eagerly anticipated. Perhaps this time around, he will add his name to the scoresheet.
Inter Miami Faces Injury Challenges Ahead of Playoff Clash
As Inter Miami prepares to face Atlanta United in an important playoff matchup at home on October 24, they face some injuries which have temporarily sidelined several key players: David Martinez is still recovering from a groin strain; C. Dos Santos and Leonardo Afonso remain sidelined due to hand and groin injuries respectively, yet are expected to return late October respectively; Nicolas Freire’s ACL injury means his season will end prematurely but Messi remains present as a morale booster and hopes despite these setbacks when Messi makes his next appearance later on October 28 against Atlanta United on home ground!
Rematch with Inter Miami promises to be an engaging encounter, with Inter looking to take full advantage of their roster’s strengths and possibly Lionel Messi’s impact to attain victory.
