Sporting will then host longtime rival Houston Dynamo FC at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 5 at Children's Mercy Park.
The 2022 Preseason Countdown will provide fans with key storylines to keep an eye on as we approach Sporting’s home opener. From player highlights and coaching spotlights to new features at Children’s Mercy Park, the 2022 Preseason Countdown will highlight the many reasons to be excited for what’s ahead.
Yesterday, we looked at the young homegrown talent of Sporting KC. Today, we will look at Sporting’s core group of veteran players.
Andreu Fontas #3 – Defender
Entering his fifth year with Sporting, Andreu Fontas comes into this season following a career year in 2021. The Spanish center back earned just one MLS Team of the Week nod in 2021 despite setting single-season MLS records in passes (1,729), successful passes (1,546) and touches (1,890). Fontas also led MLS in goals added value with a 3.68. Look for the 2021 Sporting KC Defender of the Year to ride the highs of last season and continue his impressive form.
Johnny Russell #7 – Forward
Much like a fine wine, the Sporting KC captain only gets better with age. In his fourth year with the club, Johnny Russell set a career mark in goals (15) and finished tied for the club lead in assists (eight). His impressive 2021 campaign included four appearances on the MLS Team of the Week and a historic streak in which he scored or assisted in a club-record 10 consecutive matches. Russell leads the team into the 2021 season ready to repeat his success.
Graham Zusi #8 – Defender
The longest-tenured Sporting player on the roster remained a key contributor in his 13th season in Sporting blue. Graham Zusi’s 2021 included 24 starts and five assists from the right back position. He added a goalazo in the playoffs to top off his impressive campaign. This offseason he re-signed with Sporting and is looking to add another trophy to his already impressive collection.
