Rooney has second game added to red-card ban

Wayne Rooney's MLS regular season schedule has just four matches remaining in it, with the English forward set to miss a second-straight game following a red card against the New York Red Bulls.

Rooney was caught delivering a forearm shiver to the face of Cristian Casseres Jr following a VAR review in a 2-1 loss to the Red Bulls on August 21.

He was absent from the club's next game, a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Union last Saturday, and the MLS Disciplinary Committeeu200b took the decision to suspend for a second match on Tuesday due to violent conduct.
