How does Luis Suarez's suspension affect Inter Miami?

This sanction comes at a very bad time for Inter Miami , who are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference , behind Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Nashville and Orlando City .

Not being able to count on their star striker could seriously affect the Herons' hopes of being crowned this season.

'El Pistolero' would miss the matches against Charlotte , Seattle Sounders and DC United . Probably one of the elements for MLS to have made this decision is to avoid the confrontation of Luis Suarez against Seattle on September 16.
