Oscar Echeverry has been put on the season-ending Injured Reserve list, reports the New York Post. The Colombian striker played in nine matches, starting seven, and did not tally a goal or an assist. Currently, he is the leading contender on MetroFanatic's Bum of the Year watch.

The ending of Echeverry's season will open a senior roster slot, meaning Metro will have another one open after signing Gabriel Cichero, since, according to tbe Post, Diego Jimenez will be signed to a developmental deal. It also leaves Metro with just two senior-rostered forwards on the roster.
