Welcome to Wednesday’s Lion Links, Mane Landers. We are one day closer to this weekend’s action against the Philadelphia Union. This week felt like another week of preseason after last Saturday’s game against the Revolution was postponed. While we patiently wait a few more days, let’s get to the Links.
Orlando City can’t catch a break when it comes to injuries lately. The most recent victim of the injury bug is Carlos Rivas. Rivas strained a hamstring in training yesterday, with the club saying he is day-to-day at the moment. The list of injured Lions includes Rivas, Kaká, Rafael Ramos, Kevin Alston (potentially ready for selection this weekend, see below), Tony Rocha, and Seb Hines (knee surgery).
