Injured Ike Opara remains on Minnesota United FC roster

Minnesota United finalized its roster for Friday's season opener at Seattle with one that included two-time MLS Defender of the Year Ike Opara. The Loons also opened two international roster spots after they loaned out New Zealander Noah Billingsley and Uruguayan Thomas Chacon and classified midfielder Jan Gregus a U.S. permanent resident when he received his U.S. green card. Opara, 32, signed a new multi-year contract after he was named 2019 MLS Defender of the Year.
