Ilenic is back from international duty with Slovenia as he was an unused substitute in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Montreal.

Ilenic returned from the U21 EURO Championship with Slovenia and was back on the bench for Saturday's game against Montreal. The young defender will likely remain only a bench option moving forward for NYCFC since he hasn't started a single MLS game since April 19, with Tayvon Gray and Strahinja Tanasijevic preferred at right-back.
