Across State Lines: Dwyer Out 4-6 Months

It appears that whatever form the rest of a potential MLS season takes, Orlando City will be competing without Dom Dwyer. The second leading scorer in Sporting Kansas City history left the MLS is Back Tournament bubble to get an MRI on his knee. This past week the former US international had arthroscopic surgery on his knee to repair a partial patella tendon tear. Dwyer will miss four to six months recovering from the surgery, which should rule him out for the rest of the MLS season.

Elsewhere, former Sporting midfielder, Kevin Oliveira has a new club as he’s joined Doxa Katokopias, who play in the top division in Cyprus. Oliveira has been without a club since the Ottawa Fury announced they were suspending operations for the 2020 season in November of 2019. Another former midfielder, Luis Gil, is out of contract and after playing with Viktoria Zizkov last season is trialing with another team in the Czech league, FK Pardubice who just promoted to the top division in the Czech First League. Finally, a third midfielder, Sporting academy product, Seo-In Kim has joined the Oakland Roots of the NISA ahead of their fall season. Kim had been out of contract since leaving SK Zapy in the Czech Republic third division. Here’s the rest of this week’s update.
