New York City FC is set to face FC Dallas after a 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City. Andres Perea scored for NYCFC, but Sporting Kansas equalized late. Head coach Pascal Jansen criticized the team's second-half performance, suggesting fatigue from recent matches and heat affecting intensity. Captain Thiago Martins will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks post-knee surgery. Injury concerns also include Keaton Parks and Malachi Jones, although Hannes Wolf may return soon. Jansen indicated interest in potential signings during the MLS secondary transfer window.
The Boys in Blue are coming off a 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City at the Children's Mercy Park, where an Andres Perea finish in the first half was cancelled out by Daniel Salloi's rebound effort in the 74th minute.
Each road match has been played in the sweltering heat, and the second half against Kansas saw a drop in intensity after conceding the goal.
Captain Thiago Martins will miss his team's trip south after undergoing knee surgery and is ruled out for four to six weeks.
The MLS's secondary transfer window is open, and there are several candidates in sight that could potentially be brought to New York.
