New York City FC prepares to face Minnesota United this Sunday in an important MLS matchup, but the squad will be without four players due to injury concerns. Head Coach Pascal Jansen announced that defender Nico Cavallo, along with Jacob Arroyave, Malachi Jones, and Andrés Perea, will not be available for selection.
Cavallo and Jones are both sidelined with leg injuries, while Arroyave is recovering from a knee issue. Perea, a key figure in NYCFC’s midfield, is dealing with a hip injury and will also miss the contest.
These absences will test the depth and resilience of the NYCFC squad as they aim to secure a crucial three points at home. Despite the challenges, Jansen is expected to rely on the team’s young talent and experienced core to step up in the absence of the injured quartet.
Supporters can watch the action live on MLS Season Pass via the Apple TV app, which offers streaming access to every regular-season game, playoff match, and Leagues Cup fixture throughout the 2025 season — with no blackouts and on any screen.
Player Availability Report:
Nico Cavallo – OUT – Leg
Jacob Arroyave – OUT – Knee
Malachi Jones – OUT – Leg
Andrés Perea – OUT – Hip
With NYCFC looking to maintain momentum at home, Sunday’s clash promises to be an intriguing battle — even with some key names missing from the lineup.
