Inter Miami hit the road to face New York City FC at Citi Field on Wednesday, still chasing a postseason ticket in their late push for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
The Herons are boosted by the return of Luis Suarez, who has completed his three-match ban following a heated clash with a Seattle staff member after the Leagues Cup final.
A draw would be enough to clinch a playoff berth, but Miami's ambitions run higher. With multiple games in hand, they could still climb the Eastern Conference table and even dream of finishing as the top seed if they win out. Last year's early playoff exit to Atlanta still lingers, and the squad is determined not to repeat history.

New York City FC team news
NYCFC remain without Keaton Parks, Malachi Jones, and Nico Cavallo, all sidelined by leg injuries. In their absence, Alonso Martinez struck twice from the spot in last weekend's win over Charlotte, while keeper Matt Freese posted a clean sheet with ease.
Inter Miami CF team news
Miami also have concerns of their own. Fabrice Picault is dealing with a quad issue, David Ruiz and Allen Obando are nursing hamstring problems, and Telasco Segovia serves a one-game suspension.
Reports suggest Sergio Busquets will call time on his career at season's end. Still, in the meantime, Lionel Messi continues to shine, scoring twice and assisting Tadeo Allende last time out. He's now the fastest in MLS to 70 goal contributions and leads the Golden Boot race with 22 goals.
