In the stalemate with the Rapids, the team’s leading scorer was injured.
ST. LOUIS, MO – Joo Klauss of St. Louis City will miss at least two games, beginning with Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup match at CityPark against USL outfit Union. Omaha Klauss, City’s top scorer, hurt his right quadriceps during Saturday night’s 1-1 tie with the Colorado Rapids. He was hauled out of the game in the 60th minute due to a leg injury.
Klauss collapsed after feeling discomfort in his leg. There was no physical touch. Athletic trainers treated him on the pitch before he was subbed out of the game.
“He felt his quad a little bit, so it was precautionary to pull him out,” said St. Louis City SC coach Bradley Carnell on Saturday. “He says it doesn’t hurt that much – whatever that means.” And we’ll simply have to wait 24 to 48 hours to see how things go.”
That evaluation process ended in Klauss being shut down for at least 10 days, meaning he will also miss Saturday’s MLS game at CityPark against the Portland Timbers. Regardless, Klauss was not anticipated to play in Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup game.
“We know what we have with Klauss, and it will be a void.” We’re delighted because it’s someone else’s chance to stand forward.”
Klauss is a surname that is frequently used. It’s the kind of nickname reserved for some of soccer’s best players, such as Pele.
“‘Nobody will call him Joo,’ my grandma informed my mother. One day, everyone will refer to him as Klauss. And you will remember (him).’ So it begins with her.”
He told reporters on Monday that he’d be back with “his” squad as soon as possible.
“I want to join a club that I can call my own.” My club, my sanctuary. “I believe it was the best decision I could have made,” Klauss remarked. “I’ve had a lot of love from the club’s employees since the first day here.” The supports are incredible. Absolutely. “I’ve returned home.”
Klauss has five goals and three assists to lead St. Louis City. With eight total goals and assists, he is third in the league.
“We’ll assess this every single day,” Carnell added, “but we’ll shut him down for at least ten days and begin a buildup with him.” We know from last year that (Klauss) reacts well to therapy, so we don’t anticipate him being out for long.”
