Mamadou Fofana Injury: Called up with Mali

Fofana has been called up by Mali for international duty and will therefore miss Saturday's clash against Chicago, according to the league.

Fofana has been an undisputed starter in the backline for New England this season and will have to be replaced in the starting XI on Saturday against Chicago due to his call-up for national team duty. Tanner Beason will likely start in his place for that game.
