Fans may still be buzzing from New York City FC’s 2-0 win over D.C. United on Sunday. Unfortunately, that performance came with a price as it was announced today that Alexandru Mitrita is listed as questionable ahead of tomorrow’s match against the Chicago Fire at home after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half of the DCU game.
Mitrita joins Ismael Tajouri-Shradi on the injury list, who missed Sunday’s with an ankle injury of his own. That is both of NYCFC’s top goalscorers nursing injuries, making them unlikely to play on a Wednesday with another game against Orlando City waiting in the wings on Saturday.
