Sands received his fifth yellow card of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Bulls and will be suspended to face New England this weekend. He finished Saturday's game with four tackles (three won).
ANALYSIS
Sands has been a regular starter for NYCFC, featuring in the XI in all the matches he's been available for, and his absence will create a huge void in midfield for NYCFC. Expect Andres Perea to replace him in midfield, and Sands should be eligible to face San Jose on May 31.
