"Red Bull New York winger Mohammed Sofo is slated to miss a couple of weeks after suffering a knee injury in preseason, amNewYork has learned. The 21-year-old Ghanian now faces the potential of being unavailable for the start of the 2026 MLS season, which kicks off for New York on Feb. 21 in Orlando. His unavailability is an early hit to Red Bull's depth, though that department, at least on the wings, is in a far better place than it was last season."
"Their arrivals flexed Sofo into more of a reserve role, which was where he was supposed to be last season before injuries thrust him into the starting lineup. Just hours before New York's 2025 home opener, former star winger and Scottish international Lewis Morgan was put on the injury shelf, to which Sofo responded by scoring seven minutes into his first-ever MLS start. Despite fading down the stretch, he recorded eight goals in 30 matches across all competitions."
Mohammed Sofo, a 21-year-old Ghanaian winger for New York Red Bulls, suffered a preseason knee injury and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, potentially missing the Feb. 21, 2026 season opener in Orlando. New head of sport Julian de Guzman added Cade Cowell and Jorge Ruvalcaba from Liga MX, shifting Sofo toward a reserve role. Sofo started in 2025 due to teammates' injuries, scoring seven minutes into his first MLS start and finishing with eight goals in 30 matches across competitions. With Sofo sidelined, 20-year-old Serge Ngoma could move up the depth chart as a primary bench option.
