What was already going to be a difficult run of games for Minnesota United, currently fifth in the West at 7-6-5, got a lot harder last Saturday. Starting a three game week dropping points to the LA Galaxy on national television was “disappointing” - the description repeated by head coach Adrian Heath and captain Wil Trapp after the game. But the much bigger loss must certainly be the injuries to Niko Hansen - a right hamstring injury sustained earlier in the week - and Robin Lod - a calf injury sustained on Friday - both expected to be out for extended but undisclosed at the moment spells.
