Est. Return 9/27/2025
Suspended two games
Makhanya will miss the next two MLS games due to his straight red card against Cincinnati and yellow cards accumulation, according to the league.
ANALYSIS
Makhanya received too many yellow cards in MLS and was sent off in the last game against Cincinnati. As a result, he will be suspended for the next two matches against Vancouver and New England. During his absence, Nathan Harriel could feature again in a center-back role with Francis Westfield completing the starting backline.
