Sporting Kansas City heads into its final week of preseason training in Phoenix, Arizona with a few changes to the club’s preseason roster.
Two 16-year-old Sporting KC Academy forwards Braxton Arpachinda and Mataeo Bunbury have linked up with the team, while Academy goalkeeper Matthew Hudson, defender Michael Lenis and midfielder Jayvin Van Deventer have returned to Kansas City.
Sporting awaits the arrival of recent international signings Marinos Tzionis and Nikola Vujnovic as the pair work through the visa process.
