Inter Miami midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi out with sports hernia

Inter Miami CF are down another key player before the 2024 MLS season, announcing Saturday that homegrown midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi has undergone sports hernia surgery.

The 18-year-old US international, who remains eligible for Argentina, is expected to be sidelined between two to three months.

This is Inter Miami’s second significant blow in preseason after winger Facundo Farías suffered a long-term knee injury. Cremaschi and Farías were starting XI candidates, a considerable setback for their star-studded squad.
