Well, this isn’t good.
Glenn Crooks — New York City FC analyst for WFAN — has reported that James Sands will miss Saturday’s match on the road against the Montreal Impact. The star defender apparently suffered a pulled abductor late in this past weekend’s game against Orlando City.
You can find Crooks’ full training report below.
Sands has been crucial to NYCFC’s defensive backline since the Blues converted to a three-back formation weeks ago against Minnesota United, with brilliant results against the likes of Wayne Rooney and Nani to show for it.
