Messi and Suárez are in the running for the MLS Best Player award

MLS has unveiled the list of nominees for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the regular season on its official website.

The list comprises only those players who have spent at least 1,000 minutes on the pitch this season, totaling 34 names. Among them are prominent forwards Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez from Inter Miami. 

Suárez is also in contention for the Rookie of the Year award, where he faces competition from Hugo Lloris of Los Angeles. Voting will close on October 21, shortly after the conclusion of the MLS regular season.
