Inter Miami look to defend their early position at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference table as they travel north to visit the nation’s capital for a match against DC United.
Inter Miami will be without world superstar Lionel Messi, who was injured in the midweek continental clash against Nashville SC. Messi scored a goal and assisted another in Tata Martino’s emphatic win, but was withdrawn in the 50th minute with a hamstring injury and was all but ruled out for this weekend’s game.
Lionel Messi has been superb for Inter Miami this season, but the club have failed to put together a winning formula in his absence. They faltered in the play-off race last season with Lionel Messi sidelined through injury and their only loss so far came when the Argentine was rested against CF Montreal.
DC United are unbeaten in three games this season, dominating the New England Revolution at home in the opener, followed by draws against the Portland Timbers and FC Cincinnati.
Inter Miami starting lineup (5-3-2):
Callender (GK) — Gressel, Allen, Aviles, Freire, Alba — Redondo, Busquets, D. Gomez — Campana, Suarez.
D.C. United starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Bono (GK) — Herrera, Bartlett, McVey, Santos — Peltola, Klich — Stroud, Pirani, Hopkins — Dajome.
