The Miami team was unfortunate to suffer a wave of injuries at a crucial time, with core players leaving the game and the USL playoffs in jeopardy as a result.
While Mays has undoubtedly been the hardest hit player in this wave of injuries, Zodi Ebba's absence should not be underestimated. It's been months since he last played for the team, and the team's last win came in a game he missed. In their most recent match against FC Charlotte, he came on as a substitute and the team drew 2-2, but it was a solid performance.
Meanwhile, Lee Annadu Gambina was also briefly sidelined with an injury, while Brazilian midfielder Kigoni returned to action after a seven-month convalescence.
Myaamy have just one game left in the USL season with all of their star players available. They will face off against Charlotte FC for the second time in three days. With no pressure on them, I expect the Miami team to give it their all and try to break the game open.
Charlotte FC is under a lot of pressure to give it their all as their playoff hopes are just a hair's breadth away.
Vargas was impressive on the left side of the pitch against Mayamie, scoring twice and dishing out an assist, so I think he'll be a big challenge for the visiting defense.
Schwidarski returns from the Polish national team tournament and is expected to make his debut this campaign after coming on as a substitute in the last game. With only one clean sheet in his last nine games in the USL, Schwidarski is expected to be a threat in the box for the Miami side.
