Option against Atlanta
Mura (ankle) is among the substitutes for Saturday's contest against Atlanta United.
Analysis: Mura will look to replace Gonzalo Lujan at right-back at some point of this match and should then contend for a bigger role heading into the final stages of the season. Having yet to score or assist in 23 games played over the 2026 MLS campaign, Mura is reliable as an occasional source of crosses and defensive actions when he's on the field.
Ultimately remains sidelined
Mura (ankle) ultimately wasn't available for Wednesday's clash against New York City FC despite being included in the squad ahead of the match, the club posted.
Analysis: Mura had been expected to make his return Wednesday after recovering from a mild ankle sprain, but the defender remained on the sidelines despite his inclusion in the matchday squad. His presence in the squad suggests he is making progress toward full fitness, although it remains unclear whether his absence was related to lingering discomfort or a coaching decision. Mura will hope to regain his place in the starting lineup once fully available, particularly with other defensive injury concerns potentially creating opportunities for additional playing time.
Returns to squad
Mura (ankle) is in the squad for Wednesday's clash with NYC FC, per Jose Armando.
Analysis: Mura is expected to return to the squad for Wednesday's clash. The defender has been struggling with a mild sprained ankle but seems to be right on track to make his return during Wednesday's clash. If he can return he could be thrust back in the starting XI immediately due to some other injury concerns.
Doubtful for D.C. United clash
Mura (ankle) did not participate in Inter Miami's final training session Friday, casting serious doubt over his availability for Saturday's MLS match against D.C. United, according to Franco Panizo.
Analysis: Mura continues to recover from the ankle sprain he sustained against Columbus Crew, when he was forced off in the 71st minute. The Argentine defender has yet to resume full training, making his participation against D.C. United increasingly unlikely. His potential absence would leave Miami short of options on the right flank, particularly with Ian Fray (groin) also dealing with an injury. Riquelme Fillipi, who made his MLS debut against Columbus, could therefore be handed another opportunity in the starting lineup.
Dealing with sprained ankle
Mura left Sunday's clash against Columbus Crew in the 71st minute, apparently suffering an injury that coach Kily Gonzalez confirmed as an ankle sprain, Jose Armando Rodriguez of Deporte Total USA reports.
Analysis: Mura was unable to finish an overall quiet outing after being selected on the right flank of a 3-4-3 system. He's now likely to require a few days or weeks for the injury to heal, but the international break could help him to avoid missing several league games. With Ian Fray (groin) sidelined as well, Riquelme Fillipi made his MLS debut Sunday, emerging as an alternative to cover on the right flank.
