Recent Developments
As of late 2025, Luis Suárez’s involvement with Inter Miami has been notably limited. He has only made one appearance this year, coming off the bench for a mere 8 minutes in the semifinals of the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs. This follows a total of just 14 minutes played in the quarterfinals, indicating a significant decrease in his role as the playoffs progressed.
On the field, Suárez was an unused substitute during a recent scoreless draw against Nashville SC. Despite this, Javier Mascherano, a key figure in the team, has stated that Suárez is fit to play and training normally. “Yes, he’s fine. He’s training normally, and yes, he’s available to play,” Mascherano confirmed, adding that Suárez is “100% recovered” and expected to get minutes in upcoming games.
Current Status
At 39 years old, Suárez is currently on a one-year contract with Inter Miami. His position within the team has shifted, as he now finds himself behind German Berterame in the lineup. This change has raised questions about his future contributions to the team, especially as the MLS season continues.
Looking ahead, Inter Miami is set to visit Charlotte FC in their next MLS match. The outcome of this game could further influence Suárez’s role within the squad as the playoffs approach.
In a broader context, Dominik Szoboszlai is on the verge of matching a significant record held by Suárez. Szoboszlai could equal Suárez’s achievement by scoring in three successive rounds of the FA Cup, a feat not accomplished by a Liverpool player since Emile Heskey in 2001.
As the situation develops, the implications for Suárez and Inter Miami remain significant. His experience and skills are invaluable, but his current limited playtime raises concerns about his impact on the team’s performance in the crucial stages of the season.
