Inter Miami's Dilemma: Marcelo Wegaindt or Ian Fray as the starting right back aganinst Tigres | OneFootball

Inter Miami prepares for its second and final game of the Leagues Cup group stage against Tigres. The team led by Gerardo Martino must achieve victory to finish first in the group. Otherwise, they will finish in second position.

Several media outlets have published different alternatives, all possible for this match. But there is a big unknown that Martino must resolve. Who will be the team's starting right back on the third day of the Leagues Cup, Marcelo Chelo Weigandt or Ian Fray?

Why do I raise this question?

The starting right back at this time for the Herons is the Argentine player Marcelo Weigandt. The former Boca Juniors player played 19 games since his arrival at the Miami team. But without scoring any goals or assists. Beyond just the statistics, the Argentine player has become essential for the team's dynamic because he understands Tata's vision exceptionally well.

The 24-year-old defender is a crucial player in the team's attack. However, he has some defensive issues that could become a problem against Tigres.

The other option that Martino can choose is the young player from the academy, Ian Fray. Returning from a torn cruciate ligament, the Jamaican native is slowly coming back to the squad. Since his recovery, the 21-year-old full-back has played seven games. The former academy player played the last five minutes of the match against Puebla.

Inter Miami has already qualified for the next round of the Leagues Cup. This match would be a good chance for Martino to rotate the team, give minutes to those who have been playing little, and give a break to those who need it.
