It’s been nine months since Orlando City stars Nani and Dom Dwyer played a competitive soccer match. For both of the designated players, the length of that wait has only sharpened their edge.
Neither player was featured in the team’s first two matches of 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic halted play. Dwyer suffered a lower body injury in preseason, while Nani had to serve a two-game MLS disciplinary suspension that carried over from the 2019 season.
Now, both players are healthy and eager to make a mark as the Lions open the MLS is Back Tournament against Inter Miami on Wednesday.
