Sutton knows that the Lions face an Inter Miami side that will be without Lionel Messi. The global superstar sat out Saturday's loss at Atlanta United with muscle fatigue and was subbed off in the first half of Inter Miami's 4-0 victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday. Manager Tata Martino already has ruled Messi out of Sunday's match. His absence is a huge loss for the Herons, who have nine wins, four draws and one loss across all competitions since Messi's arrival in July.

Sutton also has taken into account that Leonardo Campana is on a roll for the Herons. The 23-year-old forward from Ecuador has scored five goals in his last four matches and leads the team in goals for the season (nine) in MLS play. Earlier this month he scored a brace in back-to-back matches, bringing his total to three braces on the year. He also is one of just four MLS players this season with multiple Player of the Matchday honors.
