Maxi Morlaez will not play against San Jose Earthqaukes. Is Dome Torrent to confirm it: "Maxi will not play. The player has done some exams and is still not in the best of shape. If we were playing the playoffs I would have risked it, but now it is useless. Surely there will be for Dallas in the next game". Maxi will therefore not be against San Jose and the absence worries New York. The blues in fact without Maxi have always struggled. In recent games without Maxi, New York City FC has never won. The concern is therefore legitimate, but the match against San Jose may be ideal to deny these numbers. 

It will not be easy. Maxi Moralez is a player who can change a game by himself. With assists and goals, Maxi can always be decisive. It is no coincidence that New York City has never won without him. But the team is growing, both as a group but also as individual players. There will be no Maxi, but Torrent will be able to rely on players who are going through a good period of form.

The alternatives

With Maxi out, Torrent will also have to redesign the attack, taking into account that there will still be no injured Heber. Torrent will have Mitrita, back to being decisive in the last game. Probably the attacking game will revolve around him. Torrent will have Mitrita, back to being decisive in the last game. Probably the attacking game will revolve around him. Together with Mitrita, here is Medina, back to score and to be decisive. Taty Castellanos will complete the attack. The Argentine is probably experiencing a period of fogging after the splendid start to the season. Torrent is hoping for his goals to return to winning.Tajouri-Shradi will be available again after his injury. In short, Maxi will be missing, but Torrent can count on valid alternatives.
