ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (May 22, 2019) — The Tampa Bay Rowdies will be without midfielder Dom Oduro and defender Pape Diakite for Saturday night’s contest against the Swope Park Rangers as they serve one-game suspensions.
Oduro was shown a yellow card in Saturday night’s win over New York Red Bulls II but before play restarted, Oduro’s card was changed to a red and the Rowdies played the remainder of the match down to 10 men.
Diakite was shown a yellow card in stoppage time of Saturday’s win, but upon further review, the Independent Discipline Panel has changed that yellow card to a red card.
Both players will serve their suspensions Saturday night. They will be eligible to play in the Rowdies’ Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Third Round match on the road against OKC Energy FC on Tuesday night and then in the Rowdies return to league play next weekend in Birmingham.
