The hits just keep coming for Sporting Kansas City’s run to the MLS Cup Playoffs. What was already a long shot just became a bit longer. Sporting KC will be without at least three players for their game against the Portland Timbers in Oregon on Saturday, September 7th. That comes with the territory when MLS doesn’t observe the FIFA windows.
Johnny Russell will join Krisztian Nemeth and Botond Barath as players called up by their national teams. Russell will join Scotland for a pair of UEFA Euro Qualifiers.
