Dayne St. Clair is not out of the game due to injury, but he will miss the Major League Soccer match against Columbus Crew on Sunday, September 27, 2026. St. Clair is not available as he is on international duty with Canada.
He is listed as “International Duty – Out” on Major League Soccer’s official Matchday 28 Player Status Report for Inter Miami’s visit to Columbus.
Why Is Dayne St. Clair Away With Canada?
St. Clair was one of the three goalkeepers named to Canada’s soccer team’s September to October international window. The Canadian team will play Chile in Toronto on September 26, and Peru in Montréal on October 3. St. Clair was added to the list with Owen Goodman and James Pantemis.

The international duty arrives at a bad time for Inter Miami, who are traveling to Columbus during a pivotal period of their MLS regular season schedule. St. Clair was on the squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is Miami’s regular goalkeeper in the last few League matches.
Who Will Replace Dayne St. Clair?
With St. Clair unavailable, Rocco Rios Novo starts in goal for Inter Miami. However, St. Clair should be available once the international window concludes.
St. Clair has made 21 appearances in 2026, starting 21 matches and recording 1,890 minutes. His absence, therefore, represents a notable change for Inter Miami’s defensive setup.
Current reports indicate that St. Clair is expected to return for Inter Miami’s next MLS match against D.C. United on October 10.
So, St. Clair’s absence against Columbus is strictly related to his Canada duty rather than a new injury or suspension.
