Two Galaxy midfielders expected to be sidelined Wednesday
Monday August 18, 2003CARSON, Calif. (AP) Los Angeles Galaxy midfielders Sasha Victorine and Mauricio Cienfuegos are both expected to miss Wednesday night's game at the Chicago Fire.
Neither player flew to Chicago with the team Monday, a team spokesman said.
Victorine sprained his right hip during the first half of Saturday night's 1-1 overtime tie with the MetroStars and was replaced at the start of the second half. He underwent an MRI exam Monday, the spokesman said.
Cienfuegos has flu-like symptoms. He played the final 36 minutes Saturday.
Defender-midfielder Tyrone Marshall and defender Ryan Suarez are both listed as doubtful.
Marshall, who replaced Victorine at halftime and played the final 55 minutes, has a strained groin. Suarez has missed the past two games because of a strained right hamstring.
