New York City FC fans are likely still buzzing after the team’s dominant 5-2 win over FC Cincinnati on Thursday. Unfortunately, that optimism will have to be tempered with some bad news.
Star youngster James Sands was forced to leave the game in the second half after sustaining an arm injury. In the post-match press conference, manager Domé Torrent — when asked about his roster going into the U.S. Open Cup — said that Sands sustained a broken arm and will be out for “3-4 weeks”, making him unavailable for selection.
