Sporting KC have a Center Forward Problem

Through seven games in 2019 (four CCL, three MLS) Krisztian Nemeth has already scored five goals. From 2017 through 2019, over 30 games (though just 1,029 minutes) he scored twice in MLS. Sporting Kansas City are getting everything they asked for from Nemeth. In limited time, he’s exactly what Peter Vermes said he would be after correcting a nagging sports hernia injury with surgery in the offseason.

This isn’t about Krisztian Nemeth.

The issue today is who is going to backup Nemeth? On Wednesday, the news came out that backup center forward Erik Hurtado would miss two to three months due to right knee surgery.
