Austin FC in scramble mode after Julio Cascante injury.
After replacing injured center back Julio Cascante, Kipp Keller had a disasterous performance in Austin FC's season-opening match.
A whole heck of a lot went right for Austin FC in 2022, paving the way for the club's expectations-annihilating sophomore season. There was's MVP-caliber season, a ridiculous number of come-from-behind results, and a rock-solid home turf advantage at. There was, however, one other factor of some importance: The team suffered exactly zero long-term injuries to starting players the entire year.
, the club's most experienced central defender and third-most capped outfield player, went down with what was identified on Tuesday as a severe left adductor strain. Per a club press release, he'll be sidelined at least eight weeks. So what does that mean for El Tree? Well, we can start with the silver lining: Cascante's season isn't over. He'll evidently have every opportunity to rehab his way back to action by midseason and help Austin FC fight for all its end-of-season goals. Anytime an athlete goes down clutching a knee, the fear is something season-ending. Exhale.news. For the next two months at minimum, head coach Josh Wolff has a major problem on his hands re: preventing goals.
Austin FC does have until late April to acquire additional help in defense, and that feels like an absolute no-brainer. However, in the immediate term, Wolff must figure out how to make the best of a bad situation. It may require getting creative; he's already alluded to the possibility of deploying defensive midfielderat center back in a pinch. Better decide quickly.
