As MLS plans its likely return to action this weekend, Los Angeles FC must again figure out how to move forward without their biggest star.
With Carlos Vela hindered by a knee injury, visiting LAFC takes on the rival Seattle Sounders on Sunday night.
Both teams are slated to be back in action this weekend, after their respective matches from Wednesday were boycotted in the wake of the unrest and violence following the police shooting of black 29-year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. LAFC defender Mark-Anthony Kaye has been one of the more vocal players on the subject.
