Martinez to miss Inter Miami game with yellow card suspension

Jose Martinez will miss the Inter Miami game on Wednesday night while serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.

He was suspended for three games for a red card in a game against NYCFC last May. Martinez also served a yellow card suspension in July 2020 during the MLS is Back Tournament.
