Inter Miami vs Real Salt Lake - Team news

It will be a redemption season for Inter Miami, who were unable to make it to the MLS Cup playoffs in 2023. It will also be a season where the league will be able to feel the real impact of Lionel Messi's arrival, as the Argentine has seen the club strengthened by Luis Suárez's signing. Julian Gressel and Nicolás Freire are also two crucial additions to add depth to the team.

Meanwhile, the team will have to adjust to the exits of Josef Martínez, Víctor Ulloa, Kamal Miller, and Brazilian midfielfer Gregore. Out of these, Miller's exit will be the hardest to overcome, as the Canadian defender decided to join Portland Timbers.

Their rivals on opening day will be Real Salt Lake. The team led by Pablo Mastroeni will also look to bounce back from what turned out to be a disappointing season, where they made an early exit from the MLS Cup playoffs at the hands of Houston Dynamo, losing their series 2-1. The team's biggest loss in terms of players came with Jefferson Savarino's exit, as the Venezuelan decided to join Botafogo. Other notable transfers out include Danny Musovski (left on a free deal) and Scott Caldwell, who decided to put an end to his playing career.

Unfortunately, there will be some key absences that will be sidelined for this match. Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Major League Soccer clash.

Inter Miami: Corentin Jean, Ian Fray, Franco Negri, Sergiy Kryvstov, Benja Cremaschi, Facundo Farías, Nico Freire (injured).

Real Salt Lake: Pablo Ruiz, Erik Holt (injured).
