We are moments away from seeing the encounter between Inter Miami and the Chicago Fire at Nu Stadium.
A few hours ago, MLS Multiplex reported that Lionel Messi wouldn’t play in tonight’s game against the Fire, as FIFA states a mandatory 21 days of rest for players who played in the World Cup final.
We have to wait a little bit longer to watch the battle between Robert Lewandowski and the GOAT. With this being said, there have been rumours about the Polish striker not being in the starting lineup, but being on the bench instead.
We'll discuss whether those rumours are true or not in just a second.
Is Robert Lewandowski playing tonight for Chicago Fire against Inter Miami?
The truth is that Lewandowski's MLS debut is something many fans want to see. Last week, an incident near Chicago forced the postponement of the match against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
There are zero excuses for the former FC Barcelona striker to appear on the field against the Herons. Why do I say this? Because if we take into account that he was confirmed as a starter last week, the story has to be the same.
Now all that's left is to wait for the official lineup from the club, but make no mistake: tonight, the terror of Bayern Munich will make his debut in a Fire jersey at NU Stadium.
Lewandowski arrives to a well-prepared Chicago Fire, who currently sits in third place in the Eastern Conference, just below his next rival, the Herons.
This means that the Fire’s manager wants and expects a massive upgrade from the Polish striker from what Cruypers gave the team.
It’s not easy to assert your dominance in MLS at first; not everyone can, but one thing is clear: Robert Lewandowski has the experience to do it.
During his last season at FC Barcelona, not only did he win La Liga, but he also played 46 games, recording 19 goals and 4 assists.
This was just a couple of months ago, before the World Cup, so you can imagine that Lewa has maintained his goal-scoring form to help the Chicago Fire achieve the MLS Cup and be the new kings of MLS.
It’s a pity that the arrival of the former Borussia Dortmund ended up with the departure of the current first place for the MLS Golden Boot, but maybe, for Cruypers, it is the change of air that he needs.
