Herons vs Monterrey

The Herons have a tough match tonight at NU Stadium in Leagues Cup 2026 as they face Liga MX powerhouse Monterrey. Rayados boasts several star players, including Lucas Ocampos, Diego Rossi, Hugo Cuypers, and Jesús Corona.

Miami will be without several key players due to injuries and the suspension of Luis Suárez. Lionel Messi has also been added to the growing list of unavailable players following the sudden death of his father, Jorge Messi, earlier today.

Guillermo Hoyos faces a difficult task tonight as he tries to put together his best starting XI to face Monterrey without key attacking players such as Luis Suárez, Germán Berterame, Tadeo Allende, and Mateo Silvetti.

Despite the depleted roster, the Herons will look to defend their home pitch and come away with a favorable result.
