New York City FC must find a striker to replace Héber

In Wednesday night’s loss to Toronto FC, New York City FC forward Héber had to be stretchered off toward the end of the game. At first look, the 29-year-old injured his right knee, and the pain was clearly evident in his face. Since he could not walk off the pitch, the worst was assumed by fans and the media.

Unfortunately, NYCFC confirmed what fans did not want to hear: Héber will miss the remainder of the 2020 season.
