Erick “Cubo” Torres’ strong season will come to a temporary halt as he misses the Houston Dynamo’s clash with Orlando City SC with a concussion.
The Dynamo announced prior to the contest the forward did not dress for the game in Houston after reporting concussion symptoms following the Dynamo’s loss in Toronto. He entered the league concussion protocol and was not cleared Friday, leaving him ineligible for Saturday’s match.
