Yoshimar Yotún will probably be the only Orlando City SC player to compete in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the first player in club history to do so while being a Lion. This is obviously great news for the Peruvian midfielder, who is expected to be part of his team’s return to the big stage after 36 years, but how good is it actually for the club he plays for?
At the same time that the chance of competing in the most important soccer tournament in the world will probably make Yotún improve and his market value increase, it will also force him to miss significant time with Orlando in a very important season.
