Injury report for this week. #SportingKC
So #SportingKC will not see Dejan Joveljic when they play Seattle on 10/1.
Positive updates for Zorhan Bassong and Owen Wolff.
I have to imagine we'll see our first look at Wolff in a #SportingKC uniform on the field.
Just got to reading this and #SportingKC have exactly one player on here right now. Owen Wolff.
On the heels of one of his best performances of the season, Stephen Afrifa has an exclusive conversation with us.
"I’ve been waiting some time for this, and I’m just trying to show that I belong out there with the guys to help us try to win." #SportingKC
Opponent ppg based on venue:
- Montreal: 1.18
- #SportingKC 1.33
SKC have some winnable games. Opp road ppg:
vs Dallas (1.08)
vs Austin FC (0.92)
@ MNUFC (0.83)
vs Portland (0.67)
vs RSL (0.50)
Also, how are Minnesota so bad at home?
Good context here on the Dejan GAM.
Also, just look at the roster evolution since February for #SportingKC
Here is #SportingKC's roster profile following the summer transfer window. Gam total down ~ $1.8 million. Sources tell me the GAM from Dejan Joveljic's transfer to Seattle hasn't been converted yet and will be when an installment from Seattle hits this offseason.
#SportingKC's updated roster profile. $1.8m in GAM
#SportingKC gonna choke again?
