MLS Matchday 31 provided us with six matches during the FIFA International Break. With the International Break now over, 14 matches are on deck for Matchday 32 this weekend. Thirteen matches will be played tonight and one will be played tomorrow.

Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi will be available against the Philadelphia Union. Miami head coach Gerado Martino confirmed that Messi will be ready to go for the first time since injuring his ankle during the 2024 Copa América final on July 14.
