The New York Red Bulls' first 2017 preseason training camp roster was published with one obvious cause for concern: only one under-contract center back. With Gideon Baah not yet fit enough to join the squad, Aurelien Collin was the only MLS-contracted CB on team, just two days before its opening preseason friendly.
No cause for panic, of course: there is the better part of a month to go before RBNY kicks off its season on February 22 with a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal (first leg) against Vancouver Whitecaps.
