The first one was a minor tweak, two games out, no big deal. Rafael Ramos worked hard on his recovery and rejoined Orlando City only to pull his hamstring again in his first match back.
That was June 15, when the Fort Lauderdale Strikers knocked Orlando City out of U.S. Open Cup contention. The Lions' former starting right back hasn't played since.
"First, it's frustrating to know the you will be out," Ramos said. "You start to think about, 'Wow, five weeks out, two weeks, whatever,' and it's frustrating. But then you get your mind set to the work and you work hard, the hardest you can to get back on the team.
