Austin FC ‘focusing on who they have’ during tight schedule, Copa America absences

Midfielder Dani Pereira and central defender Julio Cascante are training for the Copa America tournament with their respective national teams, Venezuela and Costa Rica, and won't be available for at least the next three Austin FC matches during the tournament's group stage. The club had to sign the captain of Austin FC II, Alonso Ramirez, to a short-term agreement to fill out its bench.
