Rewatching the Gregore foul and I don’t see any bad intention in the tackle. MP tried to go for the ball, but was extremely careless. These types of plays are part of soccer and it’s unfortunate that Gregore was injured. Hopefully it’s not serious & he’s back soon #InterMiamiCF

Tough scenes.
Former Inter Miami winger Matias Pellegrini goes in hard and late on a challenge on Gregore, and it does not look good for the South Florida side's captain.
He is in tears on the field as he is being tended to. Looks bad.#InterMiamiCF

Awful injury for Gregore who is a midfielder I really like and extremely underrated in the league. Brutal.

Midfield:
Not a perfect night for the duo of Mota and Gregore. But definitely not a bad game. Pizarro had some good moments with a great pass to josef that should have been 1-0. But held on to the ball for far too long. Stefanelli is headed to the bench. The experiment has failed— chefJDRconIMCF (@FootyChef_JD) March 12, 2023
Another fan thinks it’s looking bad for the midfielder as he was in tears after the tackle by the former Inter Miami player Pellegrini. One of the social media users labeled the injury as “awful” and thinks Gregore is the most underrated player in the MLS. It wasn’t a perfect night for the midfielder, according to a few fans, as the club lost the match and the player got injured.
Nooo Gregore!!! Hope it’s not too serious. #InterMiamiCF

Miami will travel to Toronto next week for another tough game. It will be interesting to see how Miami copes without Gregore. They will hope to put on a show against Toronto next week and get all three points from the game.
