Josué Colmán didn’t expect a delayed start to his MLS career.
The 19-year-old Paraguayan attacking midfielder was hoping to make an immediate impact for Orlando City as a young designated player. Even after he was sidelined with a quad contusion early in preseason training, he hoped to make his MLS debut during Lions’ first match of the season.
Obviously, that didn’t happen. He didn’t return to full training until the week of Orlando City’s 2-0 loss to NYCFC in Yankee Stadium. Before that, he spent a much of his time training on his own. He also worked with striker Dom Dwyer, who is recovering from a quad strain.
