Ian James Injury: Heading out with NT

James has been called up by USMNT U17 for international duty and will therefore miss Sunday's clash against Austin, according to the league.

James has mainly been a bench option this season for Sporting Kansas City but has started the last game against Colorado in the central defense. That said, he will miss Sunday's clash against Austin due to his call-up for national team duty and his absence will have to be replaced, with Jansen Miller likely stepping in the backline against against the Verdes.
