US Goalie Horvath Set for MLS Return
28 Jan
Summary
- Ethan Horvath is close to joining New York Red Bulls permanently.
- Dylan Lawlor faces a two to three-week absence due to a knee injury.
- Yousef Salech avoided serious injury but is still being assessed.

Ethan Horvath, Cardiff City's goalkeeper, is on the verge of a permanent transfer to the New York Red Bulls. The United States international is currently in New York undergoing a medical and finalizing personal terms for the move. Horvath, who has not featured for Cardiff since their relegation last year, spent time on loan at Sheffield Wednesday earlier this season.
This move back to Major League Soccer would provide the 10-cap goalkeeper with crucial first-team opportunities. Cardiff's head coach confirmed the transfer is not yet complete but acknowledged the player's presence in America. The club is also dealing with significant injury setbacks. Dylan Lawlor, a Wales defender, is sidelined for an estimated two to three weeks with a medial knee ligament injury sustained during warm-ups.
Adding to the concerns, striker Yousef Salech received extensive on-field treatment for a neck injury during a recent match before being taken off on a stretcher. Fortunately, hospital scans have ruled out fractures or breaks, offering relief to the club. However, Salech is still experiencing discomfort, and his condition is being monitored daily to determine the full extent of the injury and a potential return timeline.
