NYCFC will be missing a number of regular starters for the upcoming clash with Sporting KC but Head Coach Patrick Vieira is still feeling positive.
The Frenchman has called upon the players he does have at his disposal to prove that they’re worthy of more minutes in Wednesday night’s showdown in the Bronx.
It’s sure to be a tough test against a team flying high in the Western Conference but Vieira is choosing to see the positives in these adverse circumstances.
Patrick told NYCFC.com: “When you’re missing players it gives opportunities to others to express themselves and some players who haven’t played for quite a long time will have a chance to start the game.
