Dominique Heintz - Suffers adductor tear Heintz has suffered a small muscle fiber tear in his adductor and is out for the next few weeks, according to his club.

Impact Heintz went down early in Saturday's match with an injury, and after further testing, the defender will be sidelined with a muscle tear. Unfortunately, he will miss some decent time with the injury, likely looking at weeks to possibly months, and not be an option until the new year. He has started to assume more of a starting role, so this is a rough break, with Rav van den Berg likely to earn more time while he is out, especially until Joel Schmied (thigh) returns.

The defender delivered a strong performance with season highs of two tackles and two interceptions while completing 50 accurate passes.
