by Christian Araos

Federico Bravo will be sidelined for up to four weeks due to a strained quadriceps, New York City FC announced today.

The defensive midfielder suffered the injury during training Thursday and was not in the squad for NYCFC’s match against Orlando City SC.

Bravo is likely to miss NYCFC’s next two MLS matches: Thursday against Real Salt Lake and June 18 against the Philadelphia Union. He is also likely to miss NYCFC’s U.S. Open Cup match on June 12.

Andoni Iraola started Sunday’s match in defensive midfield.
