Doubtful to face Minnesota
Nascimento is at risk of missing the next meeting with Minnesota United after suffering an undisclosed injury, Alex Ruiz of The Galactic Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Nascimento's status remains uncertain pending the results of an MRI scan. If he's dealing with a serious issue, the team will see its backup options reduced but may continue to rely on Joao Klauss to lead the front line. Nascimento came off the bench in each of the previous five MLS contests, failing to open his scoring or assisting count.
