Inter Miami CF suffered a painful blow in their journey towards the 2024 season with the news of Facundo Farías' long-term injury. The young Argentine forward, a key piece in the team's formation, sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during the first preseason match against El Salvador, compromising his participation throughout the highly anticipated season.
Farías, 21, joined Inter Miami in July last year and quickly became a valuable piece in the team's tactical puzzle. His contribution of 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 games was crucial to winning the Leagues Cup and reaching the final of the US Open Cup.

The injury to the Argentine, who typically plays as a winger or second striker, leaves a significant gap in the coach's game plan and poses a challenge to the depth of the squad. While the team still boasts renowned stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, Farías' absence underscores the importance of cohesion in the squad, especially in a season filled with challenges.
The pressure now falls on other Inter Miami players, who will have to step up to compensate for the young Argentine's absence. Farías' injury not only affects the team's present but also raises doubts about the expectations and goals for the upcoming season.
