Injury Report is SportingKC.com’s look at the latest injury news ahead of upcoming matches and is presented by The Center for Sports Medicine at Children's Mercy.
Sporting Kansas City enters this afternoon’s clash against Minnesota United FC with three names on the club’s injury report.
Dom Dwyer is listed as questionable with a knee injury for the third straight week, having last appeared in Sporting KC’s most recent home game – the 3-0 drumming of Seattle Sounders FC on May 17 at Children’s Mercy Park.
Forward Diego Rubio is still out as he works his way toward full fitness after suffering a torn ACL last October, while defender Kevin Ellis is out indefinitely with a quad strain.
Minnesota United also enters the match with three players on their injury report. Former Sporting KC forward Bernardo Anor is listed as out with a lower leg injury and he’s joined by fellow forward Abu Danladi – who scored the game-winner against Sporting KC on May 7 – who has a groin issue. Thomas de Villardi is also out with an Achilles injury.
Kickoff from Children’s Mercy Park this afternoon is set for 4 p.m. CT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and La Grande 1340 AM (Spanish).
