What happened: Miami is weighing Rodrigo De Paul's availability for Saturday's match against Columbus. The club begins its Leagues Cup campaign within days.
Why it matters: De Paul is coming off a run to the 2026 World Cup final and a post-tournament rest. His return would restore a central piece for a compressed league-and-cup stretch.
By the numbers: Hoyos and De Paul were both named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for Week 9.
What to watch: The matchday squad will show whether Hoyos brings him straight back or allows more recovery time.
