Error 0:

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Orlando City will be without forward Dom Dwyer for its season opener against Real Salt Lake on Saturday because of a lower body injury.

Lions coach Óscar Pareja said the timetable for Dwyer’s return will be a couple of weeks. Dwyer is considered “week-to-week” after sustaining the injury during preseason. He has not has been with the team during training sessions the past two weeks.

“We’re not going to come with Dom for this Saturday,” Pareja said on Wednesday.

Dwyer’s absence combined with designated player and captain Nani’s suspension for the first two games of the season means Orlando City will have a makeshift forward line.
