D.C. United midfielder Lewis O’Brien will miss Saturday’s match at Inter Miami after being suspended by MLS for a dangerous tackle against CF Montréal on Wednesday.
He was also fined an undisclosed amount for what the league called “serious foul play” in the 84th minute of a 2-2 draw at Audi Field.
O’Brien had started 10 consecutive matches — and played all but three minutes — since he arrived on loan from England’s Nottingham Forest. Though he has posted just one goal and one assist, he has bolstered the attack and contributed to the collective defensive effort.
