Artur News: Receives red card in defeat

Artur was sent off after earning a second yellow card in stoppage time of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Colorado Rapids.

Artur saw a disappointing performance compounded by a late foul, resulting in a suspension for the next MLS matchup against Portland Timbers. After that, he'll be available to return on Sept. 27 at Nashville. He's almost always the most defensive-minded midfielder in his team's formation, so his absence could pose a major trouble. Among the players who were on the bench against Colorado, Junior Urso may be the top candidate to benefit from the Brazilian's ban.
