Sergi Palencia Injury: Dealing with green card paperwork

Palencia will miss Friday's clash with Portland since he is currently in Spain working through the process to receive his green card, according to Josh Gross from Inside SoCal Sports.

Palencia is currently in Spain to work on receiving his green card and will therefore miss Friday's game against Portland. This is a big blow for LAFC as he is an undisputed starter at right back, and they will have to reorganize the backline against the Timbers, with Ryan Hollingshead likely playing on the right flank and Artem Smolyakov at left back.
