Inter Miami team news
Inter Miami has been rolling out its big guns in preseason, with Messi, Suarez, Busquets, and Alba leading the charge. Mascherano has also been testing new signings like Rocco Rios Novo and Telasco Segovia while easing Ian Fray back from injury.
However, concerns arose as Jordi Alba and David Martinez were both absent from training, casting doubt on their availability against CD Olimpia.
Alba, Miami’s top assister in 2024, has been a key creative force, while Martinez was expected to cement his spot in defense. Their absence could leave gaps at the back, especially with another key player also missing from training. With only two preseason games left, Mascherano must find solutions before the season kicks off.
