Busquets Cleared for Playoff Showdown: Inter Miami's Last Stand

Inter Miami thought Sergio Busquets wouldn't play against Atlanta United, but he surprisingly received medical clearance. His possible presence boosts Miami's chances in the playoffs, where they must win to continue their MLS Cup pursuit. Busquets' health will be evaluated on match day.

Inter Miami prepared for their crucial playoff match against Atlanta United under the assumption that Sergio Busquets would not be available.

Busquets' potential return could be pivotal as Inter Miami needs a win to advance in the playoffs. The team is optimistic about his recovery and availability for Saturday's game.
