Inter Miami looking to improve rosterHerons CSO vows to 'work tirelessly' over matterMLS side looking to compete at higher level in 2024WHAT HAPPENED?
During Inter Miami's end of the year media availability, Henderson shared that the Herons are actively looking to improve their roster heading into 2024. The MLS side need to bolster all three parts of the pitch with 2024 being a packed calendar due to international competition, Concacaf tournaments and then MLS-specific competitions as well like the Leagues Cup and the U.S. Open Cup.

The Herons fell short during the home stretch of the regular season when Messi was out injured. Their attack struggled to link up play, while their midfield and defense failed to combine as a unit. Then, factoring in that Josef Martinez has left the club, reinforcements and even depth are needed. Expectations are that the Herons bring in a forward, a midfielder, a fullback and then anyone else who would benefit the XI.

The Herons have no further matches scheduled during the 2023 calendar, with players in their offseason. Preseason begins in January, so it's relaxation and preparation for the new season until then. Argentina, meanwhile, is set to take on Brazil in FIFA World Cup qualifying action later this week, with Messi expected to play a large role in the contest.
