It’s time for a celebration of the thrilling Major League soccer season so far, as the MLS All-Star game will take place in Columbus. Initially, the Inter Miami quartet of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba were supposed to take part in the match but Messi and Suarez will miss out due to injuries. Real Salt Lake striker and the current Golden Boot leader Cristian Arango will also miss the match due to suspension for violating the league’s anti-harassment policy.
