After over 20 days on the road, Inter Miami landed in Florida early this morning after playing the final game of their Asian tour. While the team’s upcoming training schedule remains unknown, the match against Newell’s Old Boys will be the final test for the Herons before kicking off the MLS regular season.

The preseason tour did not go as well as planned in terms of results, however, there is a certain air of positivity at the club going through an early phase of growth. The big concerns now lie with the injured players, with particular emphasis on the situations of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets.
