Inter Miami have suffered back-to-back draws in MLS, with the results both happening with Sergio Busquets not involved with the squad.
The legendary Spanish midfielder has missed the last two games for the Herons due to personal reasons with Busquets‘ fiance expected to give birth to their third child, with Inter Miami missing the 36-year-old on the field.
Busquets has been highlighted by MLS expert Matt Doyle as Inter Miami’s MVP this year with the midfielder as influential as ever on the pitch, with the former Spanish international still one of the most unique profiles in all of soccer.
And news has now emerged if Busquets will be available to play this weekend against Charlotte FC.
Busquets set for Inter Miami return this weekend
Speaking on Inside Inter Miami, journalist Michelle Kaufman said that Busquets is expected to be back in action for Inter Miami this weekend against Charlotte, where the Florida franchise will be looking for all three points at Chase Stadium.
Inter Miami have their eyes set on the regular season points record with ten points from the last four games needed if the Herons are to make history, with some big games against the likes of Columbus Crew still yet to come.
And having Busquets back will be huge for Inter Miami, with the midfielder this season providing cover in both the center of the pitch as well as in defense, where the former FC Barcelona superstar has thrived in recent weeks.
Indeed, Busquets’ return into the Inter Miami squad is a huge boost for the Herons, and a win against Charlotte could put Tata Martino’s side on course to clinch the regular season points record.
Busquets will want to make MLS history next month
Busquets is one of the most professional athletes to ever play soccer, with the midfielder’s winning mentality a key reason behind Barcelona and Spain’s success when the Inter Miami star was at his peak.
And with Busquets returning and history on the horizon, the 36-year-old will be determined to do everything he can to drag Inter Miami across the finish line and to ensure this squad is immortalized forever.
With Lionel Messi back and Luis Suarez in great goalscoring form, there is nothing stopping Inter Miami from picking up ten points from their final four games to reach the MLS regular season points record, and Busquets will be key on this quest.
