Colman’s injury will undoubtedly represent a significant setback for FC Dallas, who are having a terrific season and currently sit at the top of the Western Conference, with two points ahead of Sporting KC. Dallas has four matches left to play in 2018 MLS season, with the first one coming on Sunday against Orlando city.
Cristian Colman started his professional career in his native Paraguay before coming to Dallas in January 2017 as a young designated player. In his first season in MLS, he played 26 games, 10 as a starter, and scored two goals while adding an assist.
Colman represented the U23 Paraguayan national team in the past and was about to make his senior debut, receiving a call-up from manager Juan Carlos Osorio for upcoming friendlies.
