Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is unlikely to feature on Saturday. The Argentine attacker was notably absent from the Herons' team training session ahead of the game.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has been dealing with muscular issues and he sat out the games against DC United and New York Red Bulls. He was also left out of Argentina's recent friendly action during the international break.
Robbie Robinson, Ian Fray and Facundo Farias are all sidelined due to knee issues, while Nicolas Freire and Benjamin Cremaschi are out due to hamstring and hernia issues, respectively.
Federico Redondo, Drake Callender, Shanyder Borgelin and Israel Boatwright are all expected to be back from international duty here.
Striker Luis Suarez remains as devastating as ever around the box and anywhere near the goal, with four goals and three assists to open the season.
