The 21-year-old playmaker joined the Herons in the summer of 2023, just before eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi arrived at DRV PNK Stadium. Despite not having made his debut, he has been called up to senior Argentina squads and is regarded as a promising young player.

However, it looks like Farias will not be seen in competitive action again until 2025. That is because Inter Miami has delivered an agonizing ιnjᴜry update on the club’s official website. The MLS outfit has said: “Farias ꜱʋffеred an ιnjᴜry to his left Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) on Friday, January 19 against the El Salvador national team at the Estadio Cuscatlan. The Argentinian will undergo a surgery at Baptist Health in the coming weeks and is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season.”

Farias fell awkwardly during Inter Miami’s first pre-season friendly in 2024. He was tackled from behind during a 0-0 tie with El Salvador. He previously injured his knee ligaments in 2022 while on the roster at Colon, and he fеɑгs another lengthy recovery.

His departure is a setback to Inter Miami and head coach Tata Martino, as the Lionel Messi-led team hopes to compete for major titles in 2024. According to The Athletic, the Florida-based club is ramping up their interest in River Plate midfielder Agustin Palavecino, whom they intend to loan.
