BDS Notes:
The big one we knew right off the bat for this weekend was that Nolan Norris would be suspended on a yellow card accumulation. Norris has arguably been one of the best players for the club in recent weeks during the Leagues Cup, so this will be a huge loss on Sunday.
Because of that suspension, expect Eric Quill to have to juggle his back line a bit more this weekend. He could go with Sebastien Ibeagha next to Osaze Urhoghide in the middle, but my gut is telling me he wants to expose the wings a bit where he can with Herman Johansson and Bernard Kamungo in the lineup.
We have a couple of other newcomers to the list, the other biggest being Kaick. He’s listed as out, but not due to an injury. We have not received comment on what the extent of that is for Kaick. Hopefully, he will be back on Wednesday.
Here is what I am guessing for tomorrow’s game:
For Austin FC, they only have a pair of injuries that they’re dealing with this weekend after their three games in the Leagues Cup. Owen Wolff returns to the injury list with an ankle issue, may be the biggest absence for the Verde.
