Inter Miami CF's center back Nicolás Freire is set to miss the rest of the 2024 MLS season due to a torn right ACL.

The team is already dealing with injuries to key players Facundo Farías and Federico Redondo.

Despite these setbacks, Inter Miami leads the Eastern Conference.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez have stepped up in the absence of injured players.

Ukrainian international Sergii Kryvtsov is expected to replace Freire.

Coach Tata Martino may need to adjust defensive tactics as the team lacks a left-footed center back.

Inter Miami might seek reinforcements during the Secondary Transfer Window to maintain their strong performance in the Supporters' Shield race.
