Lewandowski's MLS Debut Finally Set!
22 Jul
Summary
- Robert Lewandowski to make his MLS debut for Chicago Fire.
- Match features Inter Miami without Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul.
- Previous debut was postponed due to wildfire smoke.
Robert Lewandowski is set to make his Major League Soccer debut for the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night when they face Inter Miami. The veteran striker joined the Fire earlier this month, concluding a distinguished 20-year European career that included stints at top clubs like Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona.
Lewandowski's planned debut last Thursday against the Vancouver Whitecaps was postponed due to smoke from Canadian wildfires impacting air quality. Now, he will face the defending MLS Cup champions, though Inter Miami will be without their star player Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul.
Messi and De Paul are reportedly taking time to recharge after their World Cup efforts. Chicago manager Gregg Berhalter acknowledged Miami's strength despite these absences, stating his team would look to exploit weaknesses. The Fire enter the match on a three-game winning streak, placing them third in the Eastern Conference.
