With Major League Soccer’s 2017 season about to conclude its first month, Orlando City SC will finally have a true right back available during Saturday’s match against Columbus Crew SC, as both newcomer Scott Sutter and veteran Kevin Alston will be eligible for selection for the first time this year.
Regardless of who Head Coach Jason Kreis picks for the starting right back role, the change will have a secondary impact on the Lions’ formation if/when midfielder Will Johnson, one of the team’s most hyped off-season acquisitions, will ultimately be able to play in his natural position and step up to the role he is expected to bolster.
