Four of LAFC’s players will not be available in the coming weeks due to international duty

The October international break has arrived but MLS will be moving forward with playing during the international schedule unlike the top leagues in Europe. For this reason, many clubs in MLS will be losing their star players to international duty. LAFC is among those hit hard by the international slate of matches as they will lose a total of four players to the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. In addition to missing matches due to the qualifiers, the players will have to undergo a 10-day quarantine upon returning to their clubs which will further add to the total matches missed.
