Inter Miami CF team news
Expect a few changes in the Inter Miami starting XI on Saturday for the Leagues Cup game against Mexican club Tigres. With both teams already advanced to the Round of 32, and Miami having clinched home-field advantage for the next game on Thursday, coach Tata Martino said his team can afford to rest a few players.
Forward Luis Suarez, who has been dealing with knee pain, may sit out the upcoming game, according to Martino. Meanwhile, captain Lionel Messi remains sidelined indefinitely due to an ankle injury. Although he is no longer in a protective boot, Martino noted that Messi has not yet resumed on-field training and continues to work out in the gym.
On a positive note, center-backs Sergiy Kryvtsov and Tomas "Toto" Alives are back in action after missing the last match due to injuries.
Inter Miami possible XI: Dos Santos; Weigandt, Allen, Fray, Negri; Ruiz, Bright, Rojas; Gressel, Suarez, Campana

| Goalkeepers: | Callender, Dos Santos, Jensen |
| Defenders: | Aviles, Sailor, Fray, Alba, Hall, Kryvtsov, Allen, Negri, Bright, Boatwright |
