Hoyos, González unavailable to lead Inter Miami tonight against Montréal | OneFootball

Inter Miami will be without both Kily González and interim coach Guillermo Hoyos on the touchline tonight against CF Montréal. According to interheron.com, González cannot take charge until his paperwork is completed, while Hoyos is suspended for repeated late returns after half-time in four of the past six matches.

Assistants Rafael Pérez and Rodrigo Vargas will lead the Herons as they seek to halt a five-match winless run. Inter Miami are 11-4-6 for 39 points, second in the Eastern Conference, having lost four and drawn one in that stretch.

Nashville SC hold the league’s best record at 15-2-4, 49 points, and are on pace for 79 regular-season points, which would eclipse Inter Miami’s single-season record of 74 set two years ago.

Montréal are 5-10-6 for 21 points and sit 14th in the 15-team conference. Inter Miami won 1-0 in Montréal on 25 July. Since then the Canadians are unbeaten in four, defeating Columbus 2-1 and drawing with New England, DC United and the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The Herons are likely to start Lionel Messi (14 goals, 9 assists), Luis Suárez (10 goals, 8 assists) and Germán Berterame (7 goals, 5 assists). Prince Owusu, with 13 goals and 5 assists, is Montréal’s main attacking threat.

Alexis Sánchez, 37, joined as a designated player earlier this month and is set for his third outing. He has come off the bench in both previous matches, totalling 39 minutes without a goal or assist. The former Barcelona forward played alongside Messi from 2011-2014 and later starred for Arsenal from 2014-2018.

Hoyos is 9-3-5 as interim after the surprise resignation of Javier Mascherno in April, and will continue coaching the Herons until González receives approval to work in the United States.
