Los Angeles FC is one of the best teams in MLS right now. They have secured the spot at the Playoffs after losing Carlos Vela almost the whole season. The Mexican forward missed the tournament due to an injury and now he has returned, but there is a huge chance of him being left out.

The club closed his doors because of covid infections and Carlos Vela seems to be one player with symptoms. What will happened to LAFC at the end of the regular season? They will not be able to play the match against SJ Earthquakes. But what if the cases are still there for the postseason.

The problem is that now, all the clubs that played against Los Angeles need to be isolated and stay in quarantine until they get better, so the Playoffs might be postponed. If Vela get sick, will he recover in time for the postseason?

Maybe yes, but there is a strong chance of him being left out because of the quarantine, the illness recovery and the physical recovery. He will miss some training sessions at a key point, considering that he was already getting better from the injury. These are some serious news for LAFC and they could get worse.
