Minnesota United FC played a fabulous MLS is Back Tournament, reaching the semifinals, despite the absence of Ike Opara. However, the MLS 2020 season's return is approaching, and according to the team's coaching staff, the player will not be available in the first games.

Ike Opara, during MLS is Back Tournament, was replaced by Jose Aja, sharing central defense with Michael Boxall. Added to this group of defenders is the newly hired Bakaye Dibassy. However, the fans expect a speedy recovery from Opara, knowing his contribution and quality.

Initially, Ike Opara will not play the first two games of the comeback of the MLS is Back Tournament. However, there is no defined time of injury, and information is expected in the next ten days. At the moment, everything seems to indicate that Minnesota United FC will repeat its defense used in MLS is Back Tournament, Michael Boxall, in the company of Jose Aja.
