Orlando City head coach Adrian Heath will miss Sunday’s game against Sporting Kansas City after receiving a one-game suspension, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, the MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended the Orlando City coach after stepping onto the field in the 54th minute during last week’s 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls at Camping World Stadium.
Assistant coach Bobby Murphy will be in charge during Sunday’s game, which is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m on ESPN. Heath will travel with the team, but will not be allowed near his players throughout the game.
