Injury Report is SportingKC.com’s look at the latest injury news ahead of upcoming matches and is presented by The Sports Medicine Center at Children's Mercy. All injuries listed are from the teams' official injury reports submitted prior to matchday.
Sporting Kansas City enters tonight’s nationally televised showdown with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park with just three players on the club’s injury report, down four from the side’s last match against Houston 10 days ago.
Defender Brad Evans is out with a calf injury, while Jimmy Medranda (knee) and Khiry Shelton (torn Meniscus/MCL) are also both out with longer-term issues.
Dallas has an even kinder injury report than Sporting KC, as head coach Oscar Pareja heads into the match with just one player missing: Santiago Mosquera who is out with a hamstring strain.
Kickoff for tonight’s match is set for 8 p.m. CT on ESPN, while Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and ESPN Deportes 1480 AM (Spanish) will carry the game locally on the radio. Tickets are available via SeatGeek.com.
