It’s been a long, rough patch of road for New York City FC these past few weeks. One win in their past eight contests is all you really need to look at to get just how badly the Boys in Blue have struggled recently. A big part of those struggles are the plethora of injuries and other absences that have caught up with them.
We’ve already talked about Jo Inge Berget and what his injury has meant for the team — and what his return means as well — but factor in that perennial starters like Jesus Medina, Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, and Ebenezer Ofori have also been missing from the fold, and the picture becomes clear: for the past month, NYCFC have struggled immensely with personnel.
