KISSIMMEE, Fla. — With a new coach and old frustrations weighing on its shoulders, Orlando City will look to open the 2020 season Saturday on a positive note — most likely without its top two offensive stars.
Designated player and captain Nani will be ineligible for the first two games of the season, as he sits out a suspension that came as penalty for behavior towards a referee in the final game of last season.
Meanwhile, after entering this year vowing to prove himself following a 2019 shooting slump, designated player Dom Dwyer sustained a lower body injury in preseason training.
