However, the player has missed five of his new team’s previous six games due to injury, adding to the strangeness of his candidature for the honours. Nonetheless, he has been included to Argentina’s World Cup qualifying team for games against Paraguay and Peru.

Inter Miami’s next game is against top-of-the-league Cincinnati on Sunday. After battling scar tissue and a muscle problem in recent weeks, the Argentine attacker hopes to return in the last game before the international break.
