Who Should Start for Suspended Espinoza and Ilie?

In last Sunday’s disappointing draw against the Portland Timbers, Sporting Kansas City saw not one but two red cards. It marked the third consecutive SKC game where at least one team finished the game without the full compliment of players. It also was an historic red card.

Espinoza did it in 19,067 minutes.
Olave in 18,541.

But Roger now has more red cards by one.

Minutes per card:
Espinoza: 1,733
Olave: 1,854 https://t.co/isigXFKvXD— Chad Smith (@PlayFor90) September 30, 2019

Roger Espinoza’s red card make him the all-time MLS leader in red cards and he did it at a quicker rate than Jamison Olave earned his 10 red cards.
