Sporting Kansas City
Sporting Kansas City faces another setback with Zorhan Bassong ruled out due to a reaggravated hamstring injury.
Bassong initially suffered the injury ahead of the Week 1 match against the San Jose Earthquakes and missed the club's first five games.
What happened to Zorhan Bassong?
His return lasted just 26 minutes off the bench in last week's 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake before the same issue resurfaced.
The latest setback could sideline Bassong for another six weeks, adding pressure on the team's fragile defense.
Impact on the Team
Raphael Wicky has had to move players out of their natural positions due to Bassong's absence.
However, there is some positive news for Sporting Kansas City as left-back Jayden Reid is set to return after missing back-to-back games with an ankle injury.
Reid's Return
Reid had been a consistent performer across the opening four matches, and his return could bring some much-needed stability.
Sporting KC collected four points from those four games with Reid in the starting lineup.
| Player | Status | Expected Return |
|---|---|---|
| Zorhan Bassong | Out | Six weeks |
| Jayden Reid | Returning | MLS Week 7 |
Sporting Kansas City looks for points in their upcoming home fixture against the San Jose Earthquakes, a team they lost to 3-0 on opening day.
