Sporting Kansas City apparently sounded more like a M.A.S.H. unit this week leading up to its game against Atlanta United at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes had to cancel training on Tuesday due to the lack of fit players, a day before it was announced that Gerso Fernandes needed surgery to repair a broken wrist. It’s a group that’s been banged up, and a group that’s struggled to get points after placing first in the Western Conference in 2018.
I had a chance to connect with Cody Bradley from our sister site, The Blue Testament, about tonight’s game.
