Charlie Horton, a goalkeeper brought in by D.C. United at the start of the 2016 season, is going to court over an incident that he claims has ended his professional soccer career. In a filing with the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Horton, who did not have his option picked up by United this year, alleges that he picked up his concussion when former teammate, Fabian Espindola, attacked him last March after a video session before a practice.
The incident, Horton claims, happened after a training ground argument between himself and Espindola two weeks prior.
