Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez get the nod for Inter Miami! Attacking duo start for Herons vs FC Dallas at the Cotton Bowl

After drawing with the El Salvador national team 0-0 Friday night, Tata Martino and co. will look to open their 2024 account against FCD Monday evening. The Herons dropped a near full-strength XI, featuring both South American superstars in their 5-3-2 formation.

Martino changed a few things around from Friday to Monday, with the most noticeable move being Julian Gressel into the midfield and Deandre Yedlin from central defense to right wing-back. The Herons struggled to create chances against El Salvador, so their thinking could be that Yedlin and Gressel will both overlap and opt for creative chances on the right side of the pitch.

Gressel recently won MLS Cup with the Columbus Crew in 2023, before signing with the Herons this offseason.

The Herons preseason tour continues Monday evening against FCD, but looking ahead, they take on Al Hilal on January 29 as a part of the Riyadh Cup. Then, it's a date against Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr on February 1.
