David Ruiz - Joining Honduras for Nations League Ruiz will miss out versus Sporting KC on Saturday while away with Honduras for Nations League competition.

Impact Ruiz has started just one of three matches since the Nations Cup concluded, so his absence from the squad may not significantly impact the starting XI. Even once back in the squad, Ruiz is far from a lock to feature, limiting his ability to provide much in the way of fantasy value.

Josef Martinez - Away with Venezuela Martinez will not be in the squad to face Sporting KC on Saturday after being called up by Venezuela.

Impact Martinez has scored six goals on 36 shots (17 on target) in 21 appearances, including 16 starts, this season. With Lionel Messi and Robert Taylor also away for international commitments, Leonardo Campana and Facundo Farias figure to feature in attacking roles. Once back from international duty, Martinez is far from a lock for the starting XI, having featured just twice in the club's last three contests.

Sergey Krivtsov - Unavailable versus Sporting KC Kryvtsov won't play against Sporting KC on Saturday while on international duty with Ukraine.

Impact Kryvtsov has featured in all 20 of his appearances for Inter Miami, recording one goal on five shots (one on target), 69 clearances and 26 interceptions. Tomas Aviles figures to step into the starting XI with Kryvtsov away from the team. Once back with the squad, Kryvtsov figures to retake his spot in the back line.

Diego Gomez - Called up for National Team Gomez will not be an option versus Sporting KC on Saturday after being called up by Paraguay.

Impact Gomez has started each of his three MLS matches this season, in which he recorded one goal on one shot, eight tackles (two won) and two interceptions. IN addition to Gomez, Benjamin Cremaschi will be away for international duties, leaving Dixon Arroyo and Noah Allen to fill central midfield roles. Once back with Miami, Gomez should immediately reclaim his spot in the starting XI.

Benjamin Cremaschi - Unavailable against Sporting KC Cremaschi will not be an option versus Sporting KC on Saturday while away on international duty with the USMNT.

Impact Cremaschi has yet to make his USMNT debut but could see his first international minutes against Uzbekistan or Oman. With Miami this season, the midfielder has started 15 of his 21 appearances for the club in which he registered one goal on 18 shots (six on target), four assists and 15 crosses (three accurate). Dixon Arroyo and Noah Allen are poised to feature in the starting XI with Cremaschi and others unavailable.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drake Callender - Earns National Team call up Callender will miss Saturday's matchup with Sporting KC after being included in the United States' 24-man squad.

Impact Despite Callender starting all 25 appearances for Inter Miami this season, in which he recorded 97 saves and four clean sheets while conceding 37 goals, Callender will be hard-pressed to see any minutes against Uzbekistan or Oman during the international break. Still, once back with Miami Callender will no doubt reclaim his place in the starting XI, a spot that will be temporarily filled by CJ Dos Santos.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Edison Azcona - Called up for Dominican Republic Azcona will not be available against Sporting KC on Saturday after being named to the 23-man squad for the Dominican Republic.

Impact Azcona has yet to feature for Inter Miami this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI, though the team will be without 10 players due to international commitments. In his five appearances for the club, the midfielder has logged a combined 46 minutes in which he registered two shots (two on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (one won).

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lionel Messi - Away for international duty Messi will not be available against Sporting KC on Saturday after being called up by Argentina.

Impact Messi figures to be in contention for the starting XI against both Ecuador and Bolivia in World Cup qualifiers. The world-class forward has appeared in just three MLS matches for Miami thus far in which he recorded one goal on 11 shots (five on target), two assists and four crosses (zero accurate). With a number of Miami players unavailable due to international commitments of their own, Facundo Farias and Leonardo Campana figure to feature in forward roles.

Lionel Messi brought the hype train to LA, and delivered as always

The Lionel Messi effect: An MLS game … at World Cup final prices. But as ever, the fans got their money's worth.

Lionel Messi brought the hype train to LA, and delivered as always

Lionel Messi - Notches first assists in MLS Messi assisted twice to go with two shots (two on goal) and three chances created in Monday's 3-1 victory versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Messi's second start in the MLS went a lot better than the first, accumulating two assists over his 90 minutes of play. His first assist almost felt scripted when he found Jordi Alba for the second goal of the match, and he picked up his other assist on Leonardo Campana's goal in the 83rd minute. Messi also registered two shots (two on target), three chances created and a tackle in Sunday's win. The 36-year-old has had a very good start to his MLS campaign and will only become more productive the longer he is with his new team.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Campana - Goal against LAFC Leonardo Campana scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 3-1 win versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Campana only entered the game in the 74th minute after coming off the bench but still made an instant impact, scoring a goal nine minutes later. The 23-year-old has only started 11 games this season but still has been crucial in this season's campaign, notching seven goal contributions in his 19 appearances. However, he has only started two of the last ten games and most likely will remain as a rotaional player with Lionel Messi, Josef Martinez and Robert Taylor in front of him on the depth chart.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordi Alba - Earns first goal at Miami Alba scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Alba earned his first goal at Miami in storybook fashion, with his longtime teammate Lionel Messi assisting on the goal. It was a rare goal for Alba, not only being his first at Miami, but also being his first since the 2021 campaign at Barcelona. Outside of the goal, the defender hasn't amazed in his three MLS matches, only contributing six crosses, three tackles and three clearances.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Facundo Farias - Scores opener in win Farias scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one corner in Monday's 3-1 victory versus Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the...

Impact Farias was quick to put Miami ahead on the scoreboard, scoring in the 14th minute to give them a 1-0 lead. This was his first goal at Miami since joining in July. The 21-year-old hasn't had much time to prove anything in the MLS seeing he has only played three matches, but has been decent so far, registering seven shots, one chance created and two crosses to go with his goal.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drake Callender - Registers five saves against LAFC Callender registered five saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Callender had a decent day in net, notching five saves while only allowing one goal. He was kept busy in net but did well to not surrender more than the one goal. The 25-year-old hans't had the best season but has picked up his form over the last three matches, only allowing one goal while picking up two clean sheets. He will face another tough opponent in his next match when Miami take on Kansas City.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Taylor - Unused Taylor was an unused substitute during Sunday's 3-1 win over LAFC.

Impact Taylor was handed the day off during Sunday's win. The winger has seen consistent minutes all over the pitch and has been productive since the introduction of Lionel Messi to the Miami team. Taylor will hope to return for Saturday's clash with Kansas City.
