FC Dallas Academy midfielder Chris Cappis was missing from the club's U19 Super Group opening game today, which came as something of a surprise. Upon asking after his whereabouts, U19 Head Coach Chris Hayden said Cappis had traveled to Spain to join the current US U20 camp as Paxton Pomykal's replacement.
Pomykal was originally called into the U20s but FC Dallas kept him back in town as part of the FCD 18 man game day roster against Portland. After making the 18 and playing well against Seattle, and due to the banged-up depth in the FCD midfield, Pomykal was needed in the 18 again versus the Timbers.
