Logan Ndenbe - Suffered torn ACL Ndenbe suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 2-1 win over St. Louis, manager Peter Vermes announced.
Impact Ndenbe not only tore his ACL but proceeded to play 44 more minutes and score a goal on the torn ACL. Truly a heroic performance from the left-back who scored in both legs to earn his side a spot in round two. Unfortunately this injury will now see Ndenbe's season finish on the sideline. Robert Voloder saw some minutes at left-back earlier in the season and could now step into a significant role for the rest of the playoffs.
