For the sixth consecutive game, Sporting Kansas City enters tonight’s contest against Orlando City SC with just one name on the club’s injury report as Diego Rubio presses ahead with rehab from his torn ACL suffered in October.
Similarly for the Lions, only one name populates their injury report with defender Kevin Alston listed as out with a knee injury.
Both sides are missing players on international duty with the U.S. Under-20 National Team ahead of the FIFA U-20 World Cup later this month, with Sporting KC’s Erik Palmer-Brown and Orlando’s Tommy Redding each departing their club teams for the tournament.
Tonight’s game kicks off at 6 p.m. CT from Orlando City Stadium. The game will be broadcast on FOX Sports Kansas City +, FOX Sports Midwest + and the FOX Sports GO app, while ESPN 99.3 FM and La Grande 1340 AM will have the call on the radio.
