On the eve of his team’s important matchup with the New England Revolution at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes joined The Program host Soren Petro for a 20-minute conversation on Sports Radio 810 WHB.
Understandably, the topic of injuries was quick to surface. Several Sporting players will be sidelined Saturday, prompting Vermes to utilize the squad depth at his disposal.
As for explaining the recent injury bug, intuition points to the club’s early-season fixture congestion. Sporting, which juggled the Concacaf Champions League with the start of the regular season, has already played 13 competitive matches.
