Last week, New York City FC announced the signing of Brazilian forward Héber from Croatian club HNK Rijeka. Héber is expected to fill the huge void NYCFC currently has at the striker position.
Unfortunately for the Blues, the Brazilian might not make his MLS debut this weekend.
Earlier today, NYCFC posted an interview with manager Domé Torrent in regards to Héber and why he still hasn’t reported to his first training session ahead of the Pigeons’ Eastern Conference clash with Toronto FC this Friday. The answer: he’s still waiting for his visa.
“Right now, [Héber is] in Brazil [waiting] for his visa,” said Torrent.
