Sporting Kansas City will be without several players Saturday

The list of Sporting Kansas City absences is growing by the day.

A club that played without a handful of key players in Saturday’s shutout win against Minnesota will be even more shorthanded this weekend with Montreal coming to town.

The latest affected is Soony Saad, who was called Monday to join the Lebanon national team for its AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against Malaysia on June 13.

That’s four international call-ups who will miss Saturday’s tilt with Montreal and another who bypassed a call-up due to an injury.

Captain Matt Besler and defender Graham Zusi are with the United States men’s national team, which has World Cup qualifying matches against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday and Mexico on Sunday.
