When Matej Oravec was acquired for an undisclosed transfer fee from Slovakia in January, the expectation was that he would be competing for Haris Medunjanin’s minutes at central midfield.
Seven months later, there are more questions than answers about the 22-year-old, whose pronunciation of the word successful led to fans dubbing 2020 “Sexy Season.”
Through six games counting the first two regular season games of the season, Oravec hasn’t seen the field and based on head coach Jim Curtin’s comments Tuesday may not while the team is in Florida.
Curtin has relied on Warren Creavalle off the bench and started the veteran against Orlando City with Jose Martinez serving a one-game suspension.
