Mathias Laborda News: Sent off Saturday

Laborda was sent off with a straight red card in Saturday's matchup versus FC Dallas.

Laborda was forced to commit a last-man foul to prevent the opposition's scoring chance, which cost him his exit from the game and a consequent suspension for the first postseason fixture. That situation will put an end to the defender's run of 16 MLS starts and could leave the team with few center-back choices if Tristan Blackmon (knee) remains on the sidelines alongside Ranko Veselinovic (knee). In that case, midfielder Ralph Priso will likely be deployed in defense.
