Miguel Ibarra’s hamstring injury — which kept the midfielder out of Minnesota United’s starting lineup Saturday — now threatens to keep him out of the Loons’ debut game at Allianz Field and beyond, multiple sources told the Pioneer Press.

Ibarra’s sudden injury kept him from traveling to Harrison, N.J., for the Loons’ 2-1 victory over New York Red Bulls on Saturday night and has potential to sideline the speedy winger for weeks, sources said.

United (3-2) will christen its new St. Paul stadium against New York City (0-1-4) on April 13, the first of four games in 16 days.

Ibarra was a surprise addition to the club’s injury report Friday, on which he was listed as “questionable.” He trained without apparent issue in the club’s first-ever training session at Allianz Field last Wednesday as well as Tuesday at their training grounds at the National Sports Center in Blaine.

Ibarra’s impending absence from the initial game at Allianz Field would be a blow for a hard-working fan favorite with an extensive history with Minnesota’s pro soccer club. His tenure, interrupted by a spell in Mexico’s Liga MX, dates back to the Minnesota Stars in 2012.

Ibarra, who received consideration for a call-up to the U.S. men’s national team’s camp in January, started the first four games for the Loons this season.

The winger scored his only goal of the season in a 90-minute outing during the Loons’ 3-0 victory over San Jose on March 9. He also played 254 of 270 minutes in the three games against Vancouver, Los Angeles Galaxy and New England in March.

Last season, Ibarra played in 33 of 34 games, finishing with seven goals and eight assists, improvements from his three goals and four assists in 29 games during the Loons’ expansion season in MLS in 2017.

Ibarra’s aim this year is to reach double digits in both goals and assists, an achievement reached by only a handful of MLS players each year.

Last year “got my confidence back up and made me hungrier for this season,” Ibarra said at the start of preseason camp in January.

On Saturday, the Loons displayed new depth in attacking pieces to produce its third win in five road games. Without Ibarra and leading scorer Darwin Quintero — sidelined with a groin injury suffered Wednesday — Minnesota started an attacking trio of Angelo Rodriguez, Ethan Finlay and Abu Danladi.

United coach Adrian Heath said Quintero’s injury was slight, but the central attacking midfielder, with three goals on penalty kicks this season, stayed in Minnesota with Ibarra.

Meanwhile on Saturday, Rodriguez put together one of the most productive displays of the hold-up play, a style which propelled the club to use one of three, higher-priced Designated Player slots on him last summer.

Coming from Tolima in the Colombian league, Rodriguez was able to control the ball with his back to the goal at Red Bull Arena. He posted up well-respected center back Tim Parker, received a pass off his midsection and passed off to Danladi, who scored Saturday’s opening goal in the 34th minute.

In the 50th minute, Rodriguez was able to fend off another respected Red Bulls defender, Aaron Long, to controlled a pass with his chest. His ensuing shot deflected off Long, with Romario Ibarra capitalized for a goal in the 50th minute.

Minnesota United altered its formation to a 3-4-3 with the Ibarra and Quintero absences, allowing fullbacks Francisco Calvo and Romain Metanire even more freedom to join the attack. Metanire fed Rodriguez on the first goal, and Calvo did so on the second.

“We tried to break the (Red Bulls’) initial press, get it in to Angelo, then get runners going from there,” Heath said after Saturday’s game. “Can we switch the play? Because that’s sometimes difficult for them, as well, and I thought we managed to get our fullbacks, especially Romain, into their half the field. That was where the goal came from.”
