Sidelined with quad injury Radoja (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's match against San Diego.

Impact Radoja is not going to return Saturday after his early exit from the club's last outing, as he is suffering from what has been confirmed as a quadriceps injury. Luckily for the club, this shouldn't force a change as he didn't start in their last match. However, he did start in the four games before that, so he is definitely a presence they will want to be fit again soon.

Subbed in, forced off Radoja (undisclosed) was subbed in for 12 minutes in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against St. Louis before being forced off due to injury.

Impact Radoja couldn't last more than 12 minutes after coming on in the second half for his first bench role in the last five games, as he was forced off due to an injury. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will have to miss time. If the issue turns out to be serious, Jake Davis is expected to take on a larger role in the midfield until Radoja returns.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Saturday Radoja (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Radoja has regained enough fitness to be considered over Jake Davis to join Manu Garcia and Jacob Bartlett in midfield. The Serbian has been a source of passes and defensive numbers in the current campaign, with his average of 2.7 tackles per game ranking second on the squad.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Boost availability after training Radoja (calf) trained Tuesday and is questionable for Saturday's match against San Jose, according to Daniel Sperry of the KC Star.

Impact Radoja missed the last match due to a calf issue but could be on the mend this week, with the midfielder back in training. This does leave him questionable moving forward, likely to play Saturday if he continues to train throughout the week.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up calf injury Radoja (calf) is questionable for Sunday's match against Portland.

Impact Radoja looks to be a late call for Sunday, with the midfielder ending up on the injury list due to a calf injury. The good news for Sporting is he didn't start in their last two games, so a change wouldn't be required. However, he is still a useful option and will be wanted on the bench, starting in four of his seven appearances on the team sheet.

Starting finale Radoja (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Dallas.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for absence Radoja is set to miss time following a groin injury, reports Daniel Sperry of the KC Star.

Impact Radoja is in line for weeks on the sidelines following a groin injury suffered against Toluca during the Leagues Cup. He has been able to start all 24 matches play for SKC, scoring once with three assists. Jake Davis could be an option to replace him in the starting XI moving forward until he recovers from his injury.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Columbus Radoja (undisclosed) has been ruled out to face Columbus in the Leagues Cup's Round of 32 on Friday, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Radoja left the 2-1 loss against Toluca on Monday with an apparent injury, and the veteran midfielder is waiting to undergo more tests to see the full extent of the injury, and ultimately, how long he'll be sidelined for. Losing Radoja for an extended stretch would be a huge loss for Sporting Kansas City, as he's logged 24 starts in MLS play in 2024 while also providing experience at the back.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves match injured Radoja was forced off the field in the 44th minute of Monday's 2-1 Leagues Cup loss to Toluca due to an apparent injury.

Impact Radoja could be heading for the sidelines for a spell of time, with the midfielder having gone down Monday night. However, it is unknown what he is dealing with at the moment, with the severity to still be released as well as a timetable for his return. With MLS play starting up again in around two weeks, this will be something to monitor, as he is an everyday starter for the club, having started in all 24 appearances this campaign.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two assists in victory at San Jose Radoja assisted twice to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Radoja returned from a minor fitness issue, which caused him to miss the last game with two assists. His second assist in the 57th minute was an exceptionally brilliant pass which saw Alan Pulido give the team a 2-0 lead. This was only the third time this season that the Serbian has created at least two chances.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unused Sunday Radoja was an unused option during Sunday's 3-2 win over FC Dallas.

Impact Radoja was not entirely fit to make an appearance off the bench, but was able to be featured on the squad sheet for SKC. He will try to aim to start Saturday against San Jose, having started the last 11 matches in a row prior to his injury, totaling an assist with 18 tackles in that span.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with foot issues Radoja (foot) is questionable for Sunday's match against Dallas.

Impact Radoja could be a major loss for the club if he cannot compete due to his injuries, with the midfielder only having missed one start all season. He will likely face a late fitness test to decide his availability, possibly getting the start if he passes. However, if he is on the bench or out, Memo Rodriguez is his probable replacement.

JULY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First assist of 2024 Radoja assisted once to go with zero corners and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 loss versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Radoja provided an assist in vain Wednesday as Sporting Kansas City fell 4 - 3 to Real Salt Lake. Radoja has been an ever-present figure in the Kansas City lineup in 2024, having appeared and started in 18 matches thus far. The holding midfielder has contributed a goal and assist, respectively, over that time and has created 11 chances.

JUNE 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes his first goal in loss Radoja scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Radoja won most of the defensive duels he engaged in Saturday and managed to get on the scoresheet to deliver the game's opening goal. It was the regular starting midfielder's first strike.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays huge role Radoja made 29 appearances (25 starts) and assisted twice in the 2023 MLS season.

Impact Radoja was a huge part of the first team during his first season in Kansas City. He was one of the first names on the team sheet and lived up to everyone he was hoped to be. The midfielder will be back in 2024 as a major part of the midfield once again.
