James Sands just hasn’t had much luck recently. In New York City FC’s first game against FC Cincinnati back in June, the young defender had a stretch of phenomenal form come to a screeching halt after sustaining a broken bone in his arm.
The injury kept him out for a little over a month before returning on July 20 against the Columbus Crew. Since then, he has been playing with an atheltic cast while the arm injury fully heals. But the 19-year-old suffered another setback last night — once again against Cincinnati — when he made hard contact with Cincy’s Mathieu Deplagne.
