In Orlando City’s first two matches of the 2018 season one thing they haven’t lacked is effort. One thing they have missed is Sacha Kljestan.
Kljestan, acquired in the offseason from the New York Red Bulls, missed the first two matches of the season due to suspension. He’s set to return this Saturday when Orlando City travels north to take on NYCFC.
Since 2015, the midfielder’s 51 assists are the most in Major League Soccer. The addition of Kljestan should give Orlando City a boost in their attack.
“I think he’s an important player for us,” said head coach Jason Kreis following Orlando City’s loss to Minnesota United.
