Set for two-game ban
Sarver will serve suspension for his red card against San Jose Earthquakes and remain ineligible for the subsequent match versus Columbus Crew for throwing an object toward fans during the draw with Houston, the MLS Disciplinary Committee reported.
Analysis: Sarver's regular season is almost over with this punishment, as the attacker may return until the penultimate game week against Sporting Kansas City. Discipline remains a key weakness for a young talent who has produced as a substitute during some stretches of the campaign, scoring three goals in 19 appearances. His exclusion from the squad doesn't alter the favored lineup, with Bernard Kamungo, Santiago Moreno and Patrickson Delgado pushing for increased involvement.
Sent off Saturday
Sarver was shown a red card as a substitute in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Sarver came off the bench and played the final few minutes of the match but was ultimately sent off for an argument in stoppage time. The disciplinary issue makes the attacker ineligible for the next clash with San Jose Earthquakes, after which he could be an option to face Columbus Crew. He has been an occasional impact substitute, so that is what the team loses without the possibility of using him in the late stage of the suspension game. Both Bernard Kamungo and Patrickson Delgado will have an increased chance to retain starting roles while Sarver serves his ban.
