Inter Miami teenager Benjamin Cremaschi could reportedly feature in tonight’s matchday squad against CF Monterrey, alongside Lionel Messi.
The USA international has missed the entire season so far after picking up a sports hernia at the start of the year, ruling Cremaschi out as the midfielder missed Inter Miami’s worldwide pre-season tour.
With Cremaschi regarded as one of the most exciting talents in MLS and a player who has even been compared to Messi, the 19-year-old has been a major miss for the Herons.
Benjamin Cremaschi set for Inter Miami return vs Monterrey
Yet according to journalist Jose Armando, Cremaschi is now set to return to Inter Miami’s matchday squad, with the youngster in line to feature against Monterrey this evening.
Given the immense stakes of tonight’s match, having a talent like Cremaschi available even from the bench will be massive for Tata Martino’s side in their mission to win in Mexico.
Indeed, Cremaschi has been one of the breakout stars at Inter Miami since Messi’s arrival, with the teenager taking his game to new levels alongside the Argentine superstar.
And in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, Cremaschi could be a key player for Inter Miami tonight if given the chance to impress against Monterrey, an opportunity the midfielder will be itching for.
Benjamin Cremaschi’s return is huge for the Herons
Losing Cremaschi at the start of the year was a killer blow for Inter Miami, with the midfielder entering 2024 as one of the hottest prospects in MLS.
Whilst the teenager hasn’t lost too much time, missing out on the start of the season has been annoying for Cremaschi, who now has some catching up to do with the campaign well and truly underway.
Yet the midfielder’s return is still a big one for Inter Miami, and the Herons will be pleased to have the silky teenager back in the roster heading into tonight’s match.
