What next for Jansen Miller after Sporting KC’s defensive overhaul?

Once a regular starter, the young center-back now faces an uncertain role following the arrival of Diego Borges

Sporting KC signed Brazilian defender Diego Borges on Tuesday. The center-back’s signing makes him the sixth center-back on the Sporting KC roster. The team now have Jansen Miller, Ian James, Ethan Bartlow, Wyatt Meyer, Or Blorian, and Borges under contract. Blorian won’t arrive until July, however, after signing a pre-contract with the club.

The initial thinking is that Blorian and Borges will become head coach Raphael Wicky’s preferred center-back pairing.
