When Jimmy Medranda limped from the field in May of 2018, nobody expected it would be the last time they saw him for the season. It ended up being over a year before Sporting Kansas City fans would see him step back across the white line.
A full year without playing feels like a lifetime.
There is never a good time for any injury, but this particular timing was especially poor. Medranda had really been coming in to his own with Sporting KC. It was his sixth season and his playing time had increased the previous two years.
