Ronald Matarrita’s recovery was short-lived. In fact, it lasted less than nine whole minutes.
Making his first start since mid-April thanks to a nagging ankle sprain, New York City FC’s talented fullback was suddenly subbed off in the early going Thursday night vs. Minnesota. He was hurt, and in obvious anguish. Today, we learned more about the extent of his newest ailment, and the prognosis doesn’t sound good.
According to CRHoy in his native Costa Rica, Matarrita fractured his fifth metatarsal-- the long bone that connects the pinkie toe to the rest of the foot.
