KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) Sporting
Kansas City has waived Brazilian midfielder Julio Cesar, former
second-round draft pick Cyprian Hedrick, Serbian defender Neven Markovic
and midfielder Konrad Warzycha.
The 34-year-old Cesar appeared in 58
matches over the past two seasons, though he only had three goals and
three assists in MLS games. He was also in the starting lineup when
Sporting KC won the U.S. Open Cup this year.
Hedrick fractured his left fibula in May, ending the 23-year-old rookie defender's season.
Markovic made two regular-season
appearances for Sporting KC, and his release will open up an additional
international slot on the roster.
Warzycha, a former third-round pick,
made his MLS debut in a victory over Toronto FC on June 16 for his only
league appearance. He also appeared in two U.S. Open Cup games.
