LAFC forward Carlos Vela, who set an MLS single-season record for goals in 2019, will not play in the league's season tournament in Orlando.
LAFC is scheduled to leave Monday for Florida, and according to a person with knowledge of the situation, Vela would not be on the charter flight, choosing to remain home with his pregnant wife, Saioa, and the couple’s 3-year-old son, Romeo. The person requested anonymity because he is not authorized to comment, and LAFC officials declined to comment.
MLS gave players the opportunity to skip the five-week tournament, which kicks off Wednesday, for health or family reasons. Vela, LAFC’s captain and the league’s fourth-best-paid player with a salary of $6.3 million in 2019, is the highest-profile player to opt out., also has a pregnant wife but he is expected to accompany the team to Florida on Monday. Both teams play their first game July 13.
His absence will rob the league’s 54-game made-for-TV tournament of perhaps its biggest draw, but that’s not the only setback the MLS has suffered in its push to return. In the last eight days at least 12 players and two staff members from three teams have tested posted for the coronavirus inside the league’s protective bubble. The league’s latest round of testing, however, found just two positives in 1,191 tests, the lowest number in more than a week.
