Who Will Step up in Rod Fanni’s absence
It’s been announced that former Marseille defender, Rod Fanni has a minor muscular injury and may be sidelined. This unfortunate news could be a considerable blow to Remi Garde’s side if the injury lasts longer than expected. Rod Fanni has been a calming presence on the defensive line since signing a contract that runs through June 30th, 2018, with an option for the remainder of the season. Subtracting the acquisition of Fanni, the Impact’s defensive corps was already in a shallow state with newcomer Zakaria Diallo sidelined for the foreseeable future as well as the departure of Laurent Ciman via trade. The absence of Rod Fanni will be felt throughout the starting 11.
