GAME LOG
Likely out against D.C. United Bright (foot) was absent from Inter Miami's final training session Friday and appears unlikely to feature in Saturday's MLS clash against D.C. United, according to Franco Panizo.
Impact Bright is facing a likely absence against D.C. United after failing to return to training following the foot injury that forced him off after 40 minutes against Columbus Crew. The midfielder had started six consecutive league matches before suffering the injury, establishing himself as a regular presence in Miami's midfield. David Ayala, who replaced him against Columbus, could be the leading candidate to take his place in the starting lineup, while Matias Galarza offers another option after returning from international duty. Bright's availability remains uncertain beyond Saturday, with no clear timeline established for his recovery.

Comes off injured Sunday Bright was forced to abandon Sunday's game versus Columbus Crew due to injury, per Jose Armando of Deporte Total USA.
Impact Bright's fitness is now a major concern given that he has been one of the most consistent members of Miami's midfield this season. David Ayala took his place against Columbus and could be the main candidate for increased involvement if the issue leaves Bright out of future fixtures. Additionally, Matias Galarza will be back from international duty and could gain opportunities in the central zone. However, the severity of the issue for the regular starter remains unclear.

Serves suspension Bright has served his one match suspension and will be clear for the clash with Montreal on Saturday.
Impact Bright was lucky enough to be handed just a one match suspension following his violent behavior against Philadelphia on Aug 19. His absence is always significant for the team's midfield, where he specializes defensively. He has won 15 tackles, made 11 interceptions and recorded 17 clearances in his last seven MLS appearances, all of which were starts.
