Here in Houston, Texas, the Houston Dynamo’s are both revered and loved. With the managers, owners, and coaches having to make some hard choices regarding which players are going to be secured for the next season, it should come as no surprise that there will be changes to the club’s players’ roster. These changes come in lieu of both their loss to the Seattle Sounders during a home game for the Audi Cup, as well as Héctor Herrera spitting towards the referee which led to him obtaining a red card and getting ejected from the last game.
Players such as Latif Atta Blessing who’s playing time was reduced due to an injury and Mexican player and team star, Héctor Herrera will most definitely be missed by Houston Dynamo fans. Today we are bringing you a press release from the Houston Dynamo which highlights their plans as to which players they are going to retain and which players that will be severed.
