Orlando City midfielder Sacha Kljestan isn’t used to missing games due to injury.
Kljestan has been back in the starting XI for the Lions’ last two matches, but he didn’t want to miss the two games before that. He was out due to a right ankle injury he suffered in the first half of Orlando City’s 3-3 draw with the New England Revolution on Aug. 4.
He tried to play through the injury – again, he didn’t want to be away from the team – but eventually was subbed off.
Kljestan said he was determined to get back as quickly as possible.
