New York City FC will be without nine first-team players for Wednesday night’s showdown with Sporting KC.
David Villa today underwent medical tests in New York after withdrawing from the Spanish National team because of irritation to his adductor muscle.
This irritation will keep him out of contention for tomorrow’s game, although the club’s medical team are hopeful he will be available for Saturday’s match versus Portland Timbers.
Alex Ring has also returned to New York as a precautionary measure after sustaining a toe injury on international duty, ruling him out of Finland’s game against Kosovo on Tuesday.
