Inside Inter Miami is back from a little World Cup break and plenty is covered in this latest episode.
The main topic, as always, is Lionel Messi, and when No. 10 is likely to resume playing for the club following Argentina’s runner-up finish in the FIFA World Cup.
Messi and Rodrigo De Paul are taking a break after a grueling tournament, but could come back in time for next week’s Leagues Cup.
We also look at the debut of Brazilian superstar Casemiro, the controversy surrounding his signing, and the investment the club made in acquiring his services.
Inter Miami is on a six-match winning streak that began before the World Cup, but could be very shorthanded in its upcoming match against the Columbus Crew.
A likely major absence is that of German Berterame, who suffered an injury against Montreal last week. It’s unclear when he’ll be able to return to the pitch.
Also, we look at the value of the MLS All-Star Game and we talk about Yannick Bright’s selection in the absence of Messi and De Paul.
And we talk about another debut as Inter Miami academy product Preston Plambeck scored his first career goal, which was the game-winner vs. the Chicago Fire.
