Set for multi-week absence Nealis is expected to miss a minimum of eight weeks after being diagnosed with a hamstring injury, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Nealis left the 2-1 loss to DC United last weekend with the injury, and further tests confirmed the worst-possible scenario. The loss of Nealis, a key player on the defensive end, means Tim Parker could be in line to see more minutes on the defensive line. Nonetheless, this is a huge blow for the Red Bulls.
