Here are 3 things to watch for when Minnesota United takes on Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday.
Notable absences
Between international duty and suspensions, each team will be without several key players for this match, which should make things very interesting.
For Minnesota, Johan Venegas and Francisco Calvo are away on international duty, while Sam Cronin was handed a suspended for his tackle on Orlando City’s PC this past weekend.
SKC meanwhile, will be without Matt Besler and Graham Zusi, who are away with the US National Team, and will also also be missing Honduran international Roger Espinoza, due to a suspension.
