http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Ferreira-c10483 ruled out of action with a double leg fracture
Major League Soccer’s Most Valuable Player of the year 2010, David Ferreira, has been ruled out of the FC Dallas roster after picking up a double fracture this week. The medical staff is yet to confirm his condition, however, the team is hopeful that the
player will be back soon enough.
The player scored 21 of FCD’s 41 goals last season, a statistic that accounts for a whopping 51 percent of the total goals scored by the team. Furthermore, his goal in the MLS Cup final earned him the MVP title. This year was no different for the player
as he was already the club’s top scorer with three goals.
Manager Schellas Hyndman would miss the Columbian’s services in the attacking third, especially after Ferreira’s exploits against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Colorado-Rapids-c38849 three weeks earlier. In a game that was being tipped the re-match of the 2010 MLS Cup final, the player scored
a brace, running through the champions defence at will as his team won the game 3-0 at Pizza Hut Park.
However, the tactician concurs to the fact that tough games like football are come with inherent risks “Athletics is always involved with some good moments and some bad moments,” Hyndman told media. “All players will get injured at some point in time. They
can’t choose the time and they can’t choose the injury. For Ferreira, it was very disappointing, but at the same time, we know he will be back.”
Ferreira’s teammates are also hopeful that ‘the face of the franchise’ will make his comeback in a short while. “We know the quality player that David is and how important he is to the club, but these things happen in soccer,” teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marvin-Chávez-c24491 echoed
his thoughts. “We are very hurt about what happened to him and we hope that he will recover and return as soon as possible.” The player concluded.
The league is in the early stages and the team has only played six matches so far. Ferreira’s presence would be crucial for FC Dallas as his performances in the last five matches have made him the first pick on the team sheet.
The coach is yet to decide on a replacement. According to the manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Guarda-c8126 are all strong candidates for the position. The coach believes that all the aforementioned players have the calibre to step up and fill
the void.
The team now await the visit of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Los-Angeles-Galaxy-c39818 on March 1, 2011. It would be the first time in two years that FCD will take to the Pizza Hut Park without the mercurial Ferreira in the starting line-up.
