Harrison, NJ (Sports Network) - Red Bull New York Designated Player Rafa
Marquez has been ruled out of action for at least two weeks with a hamstring
strain, it was revealed Tuesday.
Marquez has been plagued by injuries for much of the season, but this
particular injury was sustained in the early going of the club's 1-1 draw with
the New England Revolution on Saturday. The Mexican was subbed off in the 35th
minute.
"He hasn't had the possibility to be consistent in training this season," Red
Bulls head coach Hans Backe told MLSsoccer.com. "He's been in and out,
injuries and things like that, so it's not really a really a surprise that you
pick up things. I would say it's quite common."
